IT WAS FROM THE LEGENDARY RKO RADIO NETWORK WHICH WAS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND PREMIERE RADIO NETWORKS OF ALL TIME, SPECIALIZING IN LIVE SATELLITE BROADCASTING BUT ALSO INCLUDING SYNDICATED MUSIC SHOWS ON LP. THE SHOWS WE ARE OFFERING CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE OF THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND CO-OWNER OF THE PRODUCTION COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHOW AND MANY OTHER CLASSIC ROCK RADIO PROGRAMMING IN THE 80'S AND 90'S, MS. JO INTERRANTE KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES WAS OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THE ACCUMULATED COLLECTION, ON VARIOUS MEDIA, OF THE ENTIRE OUTPUT OF MS INTERRATE'S PRODUCED GENIUS BY HER SON CHRIS AFTER HE RESEARCHED POSSIBLE BUYERS FOR THE COLLECTION AND CAME TO US BECAUSE OF OUR EXPERIENCE AND REPUTATION ACROSS THE WORLD. JO INTERRANTE WAS A BROADCASTING LEGEND WHO BESIDES OWNING HER OWN MUSIC PRODUCTION COMPANY WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN BUILDING FROM THE GROUND UP THE RKO RADIO NETWORK WHICH WAS NOT ONLY A FORERUNNER IN LIVE SATELLINE MUSIC BROADCASTING WHICH HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY BEEN WELL UTILIZED BUT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF THE MOST POPULAR RADIO SHOWS IN HISTORY FEATURING NOT ONLY THE MUSIC BUT ARTIST INTERVIEWS AND FEATURES. JO INTERRANTE'S CONTRIBUTION TO RADIO CANNOT BE MIMIMIZED. SHE WAS A TRUE PIONEER AND AN INSPIRATION FOR WOMEN IN THE YEARS OF MEN BEING PREDOMINATELY IN CHARGE IN THE RADIO INDUSTRY. THIS SHOW, PEPSI'S HITLINE USA IS QUITE LITERALLY ONE OF A KIND BECAUSE IT WAS NATIONALLY BROADCAST LIVE ON THE RKO RADIO NETWORK FROM 11PM-12AM EASTERN TIME SATURDAY NIGHTS FROM RKO'S NEW YORK CITY STUDIOS (8 PM - 9 PM ON THE WEST COAST) UNLIKE RADIO SHOWS SYNDICATED TO AFFILIATE STATIONS IN THE MAJOR MARKETS OF THE COUNTRY AND DELIVERED ON LP OR LATER CD AND NOW BY DIGITAL DOWNLOAD), THERE IS NO ORIGINAL PHYSICAL COPY OF THE LIVE BROADCAST UNLESS LISTENERS TAPED IT THEMSELVES FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURE. THERE WERE NEVER CUE SHEETS BECAUSE THE SHOW WAS TOTALLY UNSCRIPTED WITH THE WEEK'S GUESTS LIVE IN STUDIO. THERE WERE ONLY FAXED 'PRE-SHOW TEST SCHEDULES' FOR AFFILIATE RADIO STATIONS TO PREPARE FOR THE LIVE BROADCAST AND THE SCHEDULED COMMERCIAL BREAKS FOR THE LOCAL STATION TO INSERT THEIR LOCAL COMMERCIALS. EVEN THOSE SHEETS ARE UNAVAILABLE SINCE THEY WERE THROWN AWAY AFTER BROADCAST. I HAVE RETRIEVED A SCANT FEW AND HAVE PICTURED THEM FOR YOU IN MY LISTING. THEY ARE NOT FOR THIS LISTED SHOW AND ARE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE HOW THE SHOW WAS SET UP EACH WEEK I WILL BE SENDING YOU A COPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE. THIS SHOW FEATURED LOVERBOY IN THE RKO NEW YORK STUDIOS AND WAS BROADCAST LIVE THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER 18, 1987. IT WAS SHOW #38 IN THE SERIES EVEN THE COMMERCIALS ARE FUN TO LISTEN TO AFTER 36+ YEARS. FUNNY HOW WE HATED THEM THEN BUT NOW THEY BRING BACK FUN MEMORIES. YOU WILL HEAR PLENTY OF VINTAGE PEPSI ADS ALONG WITH SOME FROM OTHER NATIONAL COMPANIES. 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 tha REt 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? 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. 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 may have had as many as 175 shows pressed of each week's show, but think about it, only 175 pressed for some 350 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. Radio shows themselves were only ever sent to the top 175 Metro markets. Smaller markets had to take the satellite feed once it became available. 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 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. As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy for U.S. buyers and for my international friends, so the more you buy the more money you will save. Good Luck and God Bless You.
