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 WHICH I HUMBLY TITLE 'RADIO SHOWS 101'!AND AS YOU CONSIDER THIS SHOW AND SERIES, THINK OF EACH HOUR SHOW AS A MINI DOCUMENTARY INTO THE HISTORY OF THE MUSIC YOU GREW UP WITH AND OF YOUR LIFE. IT IS A SERIES TO BEAT ALL SERIES.SOLID GOLD SCRAPBOOK is the name of the series First, picture yourself back in the late 50's, 60's, or the 70's when DJ's were DJ's. You were at one with to your transistor radio listening to the top 40 presented by your local radio station. You had that radio glued to your ear or connected with the little earphone jack that immediately broke. Your local dj was great. He knew the music. He had the gift of talking which rarely occurs anymore. You loved the presentation of the music as much as the sounds. You liked the station jingles. And on weekends when the local dj's had off, you listened to either taped shows they did during the week to be played on the weekend or a syndicated radio show featuring one of the greats. It was the golden age of rock. Music was king and the dj's were just as popular. You can relive those days whether you grew up then or just wish you had, on only a handful of oldies shows. One of the things this oldies radio show series did best was its specialty theme shows. Billing itself as the "Pop Music Almanac", Solid Gold Scrapbook prided itself in being the definitive oldies show on the radio. For a hour each day, five hours a week, for over 8 years, show hosts brought the best of themed music, interviews and information. This show is a great example. Solid Gold Scrapbook 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 Bartley and his fellow dj hosts, all experts on rock music. It is 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. Dick Bartley and his crew were masters at it. Whether through him when he hosted the show or through his dj’s who came after him, you will enjoy the great production values of this series from beginning to end through over 2000 different shows over 7 years. Best of all, it is vinyl and virgin vinyl at that usually played only the day it aired. This series is by far the best and most comprehensive oldies series that ever aired on American radio largely because since it was aired for an hour daily, they could delve into these themes more thoroughly than could a dj on a weekly three hour generic oldies weekend show. You will not hear many of these songs or themes on any other show which is another plus. Again, because it was an hour for each theme, they 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. 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 Even Dick Bartley's update of this show, American Gold, does not have the huge variety of themes that this series had. It was something only Solid Gold Scrapbook did and these shows are masterpieces. They belong in your collection! THIS SHOW WAS TITLED, "SOLID GOLD LOVE SONGS" and aired on February 14, 1991, 32+ YEARS AGO and focuses on A TRIBUTE TO THE TOP SOLID GOLD LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME, FOR A TOTAL OF 13 TUNES AND 4 RARE INTERVIEWS. THIS WONDERFUL ONE HOUR SPECIAL BELONGS IN YOUR COLLECTION! VINTAGE COMMERCIALS IN THIS SHOW INCLUDE MARIOTT, HOOKED ON PHONICS, PROGRESSO SOUP, AND MORE. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH FUN IT IS TO HEAR THESE OLD COMMERCIALS AFTER SO MANY YEARS. THEY, TOO, WERE A PART OF OUR GROWING UP. THE CONTENTS OF THE SHOW CAN BE SEEN IN THE LISTING PICTURE. It comes on one stereo lp album and aired on the United Stations Radio Network You will hear great unique and rare interviews on many of these seminal shows WHAT MEMORIES IT WILL BRING BACK TO YOU. IT IS AN AMAZING HOUR OF MUSIC, COMMENTARY, INTERVIEWS, FUN FACTS, AND ENTERTAINMENT! YOU WILL ENJOY EVERY TIME YOU PUT IT ON YOUR TURNTABLE. IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL OLDIES MUSIC PRESENTATIONS . Dick Bartley was the originator of the whole series and its host for most of the seven years it was in syndication. There were two other hosts in the series, Mr. Music, Norm N. Nite who was one of the major influences in the origination of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and a long time dj at WCBS-FM in New York and now on Sirius/XM and, for the last two years of the show, Dave Charity. All were great dj's in the style of the dj's we were used to hearing and who you don't hear anymore especially if you do not have an oldies station anymore as most of you do not as the oldies demographic becomes less and less in favor with money grubbing station owners. You have to go to internet radio to find most of these songs since current oldies stations that still exist consider oldies to be the 80's and 90's. Please note that occasionally you will see these shows bunched in weekly groups and sold that way. However, in that case you have to buy all five shows that aired that week just to get the one you want. For over 30 years I have sold them individually to collectors so that they can get the music they want and only the music they want. In fact, any of you who had to buy the weekly box to get the show you wanted, I will buy the unwanted shows from you for the prorated price per show and make them available to other collectors who might want them. There is nothing worse than a record you don't need or want. When you buy only the show you want, you and I are both happy! 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? 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 as few as a couple hundred of each week's show pressed but think about it. A couple hundred for some 200 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. 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 whole United 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 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 as an oldies dj, show producer and station operator!) 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.
