SO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION:  WHAT IS A RADIO SHOW?  WHY COLLECT THEM?  WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? 

 Well, those are good questions, especially if you have never known of them.

  Radio Shows are syndicated productions by one of several large and small distributors who supply broadcast product to radio stations normally during weekends when the usual air personalities have a break.

  Many air on Saturday or Sunday evenings or during overnight segments.  They often feature some of the best known voices for their genre from across the country thus the Dick Clark's and Casey Kasem's and Rick Dees and Dick Bartley and so many others. 

 People collect them for various reasons.

  Some just collect the series because they like it and want them all.  

Some collect their favorite artists or genre of music.  Rather than an album by the artist or a compilation bought at Wal Mart or downloaded through iTunes or wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj presentations which were very entertaining.  

Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments. 

Some collect commercials especially old car commercials but certainly not limited to only those. 

 AND, these shows are in limited quantity.  

They were pressed just for syndicated stations in the United States.

  Many have just a few still in circulation. 

 Some of the more popular shows may have as many as a few hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it.  A few hundred for some 200 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music is about as rare as rare can be.  

Also, many if not most stations tossed them away after airing since the shows could not be aired again due to the time oriented commercial content

So there may be very few left.

Which makes them increasingly hard to find. 

 They were first distributed on reel to reel tape if the show goes back that far into the 60's, then later on lp, later on CD and even later  on CDR. 

 Now they are not available at all to collectors since they are distributed by digital download much like you get your music from iTunes. These shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them and the people who sell them, like me, are running out of them. 

 My best contact for these shows is out of shows and I am now at the mercy of finding a good deal here and there but never from a regular source.  The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only increase.    

 Finally, it is Americana at its best. 

 Whether the show be from the 60's or 2000's, rock, countdown, oldies, country, classical, religious, jazz or big band, it is unique and home grown. 

 And you just can't find them anywhere.  Even record stores that still exist will rarely have any.  

 Radio shows are wonderful representations of the real golden age of radio at least music wise.

  And every  one you buy is  an original, not a copy, not a remake  

  Here is another great show for you from  the ONE OF THE BEST weekly pop music shows of all time,  "POWERLINE"  AND ON BEAUTIFUL VIRGIN VINYL FROM 32 YEARS AGO. 

IT IS A MUCH SOUGHT AFTER SERIES. 

 IF YOU ARE A FAN OF THE SHOW OR OF ITS FORMAT OR OF A PARTICULAR ARTIST THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU.   

  EACH SHOW HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE AND THEN STORED.  IT COMES WITH CUE SHEETS.  

Quality radio shows are getting harder and harder to come across now that they are all transmitted to stations digitally and not on CD.

  What is out there now is all there is and most collectors are holding on to theirs as they grow in value and who would want to give up one of these shows anyway? 

  The show airs on the SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION BROADCASTING SERVICE  and aired  weekly. 

The show combined a mix of the top tunes and flashback tunes with a couple of inspirational messages.  There are no commercials on these shows and you will find the inspirational messages a pleasure.  

There are two half hour shows on each lp.

 It comes on one LP in excellent condition looking like it never was played.  

  They were  played only on the air date and then saved and stored by the station general manager who eventually sold them to me. 

 These shows aired on         JANUARY 18, 24,25, & 31  1985.

THE SONG LISTINGS CAN BE SEEN ON THE PICTURED CUE SHEET IN THE LISTING PICTURE

 This is the genuine original show that was sent to the radio station for airing.  It is NOT an unauthorized copy but the Real McCoy!!!  

 I personally guarantee that every radio show that I sell is the original show sent to stations.

 Stations could use the show anytime during that weekend  and then it ended up available to us all to enjoy.  This show and all the shows in the POWERLINE series is ultra rare. 

 You are truly buying a  show that will only increase in value.                 

      Remember that this and all the radio music shows that you see on ebay  are not just about the music.  It is the mixture of great music and great announcing that makes it so entertaining.

  As well, it is a piece of radio and music  history. 

 You just aren't going to find these shows around very much longer as everything is now digitized and downloaded for play and shows are no longer sent out on CD's    Think of what they will be worth in a few years!  (IF you wanted to sell.)
