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 mornings, afternoons or evenings or less often 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 or downloaded or streamed , you have in a radio show a unique presentation of your favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj comments which were very entertaining. Radio shows have and always have made the music what it is. We remember the dj's and the shows as much as the music. 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 as older commercials become more in vogue each year that passes. AND, these shows are in limited quantity. They were pressed just for syndicated stations in the United States. Many have just a few still available. This show itself was only ever sent to the top 175 Metro markets. Smaller markets had to take the satellite feed once it became available. So at the very most there were only 175 copies of each show EVER. How do you compute rareness. 175 copies for the wholeUnited States market and 25 years ago or more means that could possibly not be ANY more of these shows and at the very most there are 175 . How many survived is anyone's guess. This is because most stations just threw these away after network broadcast since they could not be aired again because of the dated commercial content and most stations had limited storage space. So it is likely that very few still exist and they are increasingly hard to find. They were first distributed on reel to reel tape or LP, later on CD and even later (after 2000 for most shows) on CD-R. Now they are not available at all to collectors since they are distributed by digital download much like you get your music from iTunes etc. These shows become rarer and rarer every day because there were few to start with and the people who buy them hold on to them. The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only increase. Americana at its best. Even record stores that still exist will rarely have any. Radio shows are wonderful representations of the real golden age of music radio. Also, keep in mind that this and all the radio shows are not just about themusic - the music can be found anywhere. It is the mixture of great music and great announcing that makes it so entertaining. As well, it is a piece of radio history. You just aren't going to find these shows anymore.
