READ ON FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THIS SHOW AND SERIES AND THEN IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS, READ ON FOR "RADIO SHOW 101", MY OWN HUMBLE HISTORY OF MUSIC RADIO SHOWS It is called RICK DEES WEEKLY TOP 40 Rick Dees is one of rock's greatest dj's His shows are classic for their laid back style and his 'cast of idiots' who join him. His show is as much for the fun of the dj as the greatness of the music. Years come and go, hits come and go, but Rick Dees and his great style continue. In addition there are tremendous interviews and other features. Already well known, Rick hit it big in his career when hired by RKO Radio to do mornings at WHBQ in Memphis. That success motivated RKO to offer him the morning show at KHJ in Los Angeles. He later went to KIIS FM , also in LA and turned the station into the #1 revenue generating radio station in America.The Weekly Top 40 show began in September 1983 and continues today although only available by digital download since 2010 it is unavailable to collectors. The show was created by KIIS to compete with American top 40. It is heard weekly in over 200 countries and the American Forces Radio Network. In 2008 it became the first English speaking radio show to air in China.Dees continues distribution of his Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Countdown globally to terrestrial radio stations and streaming in the U.S., making it the longest continuously running Hit Music Countdown in the world. He also continues to host the syndicated Daily Dees daily show.Rick has been honored throughout his career with awards including the Marconi Award, induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame and the National Association of broadcasters Hall of fame. He has received a Grammy for a comedy album. He is a Billboard Magazine Radio Personality of the year for 10 consecutive years, has received a People’s Choice Award and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of FameHaving an opportunity to own one of his early work in radio is a rare opportunity and this is true Americana. The show comes on 4 CD's in new condition and are distributed during various periods by THE ABC/CITADEL BROADCASTING RADIO NETWORKS, THE X RADIO NETWORK, AND CITADEL MEDIA RADIO NETWORK. THE SHOW CAME IN BOTH A HOT ADULT CONTEMPORARY, AND IN THE FORMAT THAT MOST STATIONS USED, CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO WHICH WAS MORE POP ORIENTED AND THE MORE POPULAR OFFERING TO STATIONS.

WHY COLLECT THEM? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? Well, those are good questions, especially if you have never known of them. 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 (and going strong) 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 always being 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. So, again, what is a radio show? 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 morning, afternoon, or evening segments or less often during week days and 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, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and often with dj presentation which is 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 and many have just a few 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 300 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music. Many radio stations just tossed them away after airing because they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercials and the limited storage space at most radio stations (believe me I know, I was an oldies dj, show producer, board operator, and assistant engineer, at one for over seven glorious years!)SO 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 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 no holds barred 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 has decreased. And, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world consisting of over fifteen thousand 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 radio at least music wise. And every one you buy is an original, not a copy, not a remake - all limited editions in the hundreds at most and many 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 and wonderful interview segments and other features. Also, keep in mind that this and all 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 Most people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 25 years later they sound fresh and bring back more innocent time! It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collectionGood Luck and God Bless You
