READ ON FOR AN EXPLANATION OF THIS SHOW AND SERIES AND THEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS, I WILL PRESENT YOU A BRIEF HISTORY AMERICAN GOLD WITH DICK BARTLEY One of the things this oldies radio show series did best was its specialty theme shows. AMERICAN GOLD prided itself in being the definitive oldies show on the radio. Each week Dick Bartley brought the best of music, interviews and information. This show is a great example. American Gold with Dick Bartley shows are a testimony and legacy to the early rock era. These are the real oldies! And they can be yours - music, interviews, and all the expertise of show host Dick BartleyDick is a legendary broadcaster starting out first at a now dark Lynchburg, Virginia radio station and quickly rising to become one of radio's most popular and legendary broadcasters. Read some of his awards during his long career:He is the three time winner of the Billboard Magazine radio award for network program of the yearA three time nominee for the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for Network Personality of the YearWinner of the 1996 New York International Radio Festival World MedalAnd was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in Chicago in 2000 Dick's shows provide a great variety of music along with RARE interviews and fun facts. You will hear super great tunes and the best part is that you can hear them again and again, over and over, whenever you want. This series is by far the best and most comprehensive oldies series that ever aired on American radio. You will not hear many of these songs or themes on any other show which is another plus. Again, because it presented only one or two themes each week, Dick had the time to play not only the top hits but more of the hits that are less often heard but still loved and remembered. AND, an extra special part of this show not replicated anywhere else, EACH song gives you the year it was on the charts. This is great for trivia contests as well as your scratching your head and wondering when this song charted!All the artists featured in this series helped define rock music through their work You will hear not only great tunes. but also interviews and stories about the artists and their music that you have never heard before. The soundtrack of our lives were shaped by this music and it belongs in your collection.

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 ebay became the driving force in radio show sales (and everything else) in the later 1990's. 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, he 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 lesser availability.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 IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS EXCITING GENRE? 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 or weekday 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 downloaded through iTunes or wherever, 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 especially old car commercials but certainly not limited to only those. AND, these shows are in limited quantity. They were pressed just for affiliate stations in the United States. Many have just a few still in circulation. Some of the more popular shows have only 175 pressings of each week's show reflecting the top 175 radio markets in the United States. Only one station in each market could carry the show. Just think, 175 copies only A couple hundred for some 300 million Americans and tens of 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. How many survived as did the ones I have 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. (Believe me I know; I worked at one as an oldies dj for over seven glorious years!) 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 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 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. 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 don't 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 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 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! Remember, when you buy this show, not only will you own the tunes but also interspersed between songs is fascinating commentary on the artists and songs that only Dick Bartley and the gang can provide. Also, keep in mind that this and all the oldies shows are not just about the music - 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. 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; in fact, believe it or not, I paid a lot more than you will for most of these shows than you will. As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy for U.S. buyers and for my international friends, shipping is handled exclusively through the Ebay International Shipping Program. Good Luck and God Bless You.
