SO WHAT ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT RADIO SHOWS?
LET ME TELL YOU BUT FIRST....
Allow me tell you my own personal story of discovering the wonder of radio shows.
I discovered radio shows quite by accident while reading one of my favorite (long since departed) magazines called "Discoveries" (It was later bought by the same company that publishes "Goldmine" which I personally always considered a lesser publication, but that is another story.
This was before became the driving force in radio show sales (and everything else) in the later 1990s.
I was especially attracted in "Discoveries" to a two page (or more) spread in each issue by a guy called "The Old Hippie".
Let me tell you, the Old Hippie had it all. He was a real pioneer. Way before anyone knew what radio shows even were let alone that they could be bought as rarities; The Old Hippie had the market cornered.
Most shows that he advertised were way beyond my budget but I drooled over those pages every issue and once in awhile I could afford one or two.
Now, I have attempted in my own humble way to take on the mantle of "The Old Hippie". I have listed over 11,000 unique radio shows of all genres for you all to drool over, and most at prices, hopefully, that collectors can better afford! I want to make available to collectors what I could not afford and especially in these days of higher prices and lesseravailability.
Radio shows are harder and harder to find in quantity and the prices for the ones still out there just go higher and higher as they disappear from the market. However, because of my large presence on eBay, I am often contacted with selling offers, some of which I take advantage of and some I have to pass on because of the prices. I have found that by buying in bulk, even when many or most of the shows are lesser known but still amazing shows, I can offer the best prices on all titles.
NOW, EXACTLY 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 mornings, afternoons or evenings or less often during overnight segments and weekdays.
They often feature some of the best known voices for their genre from across the country thus the Dick Clarks and Casey Kasems 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 download, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj comments which were very entertaining.
Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments.
Some collect commercials
They were first distributed on reel to reel tape or on lp, later on CD and even later (after 2000 for most shows) on CDR. Now they are not available at all to collectors since they are distributed only through digital download
These shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them. If they do later sell, it is to make a huge profit since prices go up all the time.
The shows that you get now and hold on to will never decrease in value and only increase.
I have prided myself since the start to provide the best and fairest cost with a guarantee that you will be happy or I refund your money. I sell them for near what I bought them for. I give volume discounts and discount postage always. As the postal service increases their rates, my shipping rates over the years have decreased.
And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of over fifteen thousand unique shows, so many that I dont even know all that I have and am sometimes amazed when I go to look for one show and find another that I did not realize I had.
Finally, it is Americana at its best.
Whether the show be from the 60s or 2000s, rock, countdown, oldies, country, classical, religious, jazz or big band, it is unique and home grown.
And you just cant find them anywhere.
Even record stores that still exist will rarely have any. Radio shows are wonderful representations of the real golden age of music radio.
And every one you buy is an original, not a copy, not a remake - all are limited editions in the hundreds at most and most, like this special show, much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!
Also, keep in mind that this and all radio shows are not just about themusic - the music for the most part 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 arent going to find these shows anymore. Think of what they will be worth in a few years! (IF you wanted to sell.)
I am selling to share with other music lovers what I was able to get at a reasonable price.
As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy forU.S.buyers so the more you buy the more you save in shipping charges. And for my international friends, shipping is exclusively handled by the eBay International Shipping Program.
So, lets sail together on the SS Keiths Kollectables and sail into parts unknown seeking the best radio shows that ever aired that you can treasure forever.
Its pure gold, Mateys!!!
Good Luck and God Bless You.
