Description: HI GUYS AND GALS! STAND BY FOR A RARE SHOW THAT HAD THE UNLIKLIEST GEMS INCLUDED THAT HARDLY EVER KNOWS ABOUT.WELCOME ONE AND ALL TO KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES, ONE OF EBAY'S PREMIER BUYERS AND SELLERS OF RARE RADIO SHOWS OF ALL GENRES ALONG WITH OTHER GREAT AMERICANA LIKE MAD MAGAZINE AND WEEKLY WORLD NEWS.THIS RARE SHOW IS CALLED THE ARMY HOUR.THE ARMY HOUR WAS A WEEKLY HALF HOUR SHOW (SO WHY WAS IT CALLED THE ARMY HOUR? WHO KNOWS)IT WAS A PUBLIC AFFAIRS PROGRAM THAT RADIO STATIONS BROADCAST ON WEEKENDS TO FULFILL THEIR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMITMENTS FOR THEIR LICENCE RENEWAL.THE SHOW CONTAINED SOME ARMY INTERVIEWS AND FEATURES ALONG WITH ENTERTAINMENT TO APPEAL TO EVERY LISTENER. ITS GOAL WAS TO PROJECT A POSITIVE IMAGE FOR THE ARMY. THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE SHOWS LEFT.THESE SHOWS WERE T-767 AND T-768 AND FEATUREDBILL WITHERS LIVE IN CONCERT AND CARL REINER AND MEL BROOKS LIVE IN CONCERTSO HERE IS THE BIG QUESTION: 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 Sundays or less often on weekdays or 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 bought at Wal Mart or downloaded through iTunes or wherever, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and always with dj presentations which were very entertaining. Some collect interviews with their favorite artists as most shows had interview segments. Many 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 many as a hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it. A 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. 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 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 are limited editions in the hundreds at most and most much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club! BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT THIS SHOW, NOTE MY LOW SHIPPING AND SHOW PRICES!!! 2.99 cent shipping for as many as you buy saves you big bucks!!! Buy one or a hundred and pay only 2.99 cents total. AND FOR MY GREAT INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS, BUY AND PAY FOR YOUR FIRST SHOW AND ALL OTHERS SHIPPED WITH THE SAME ORDER SHIP FOR NO EXTRA COST FOR SINGLE LP SHOWS AND ONLY $8 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MULTI LP SHOW. WAIT FOR ME TO SEND YOU AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING FOR MULTIPLE LP PURCHASES SO I CAN DISCOUNT YOUR SHIPPING BEFORE YOU PAY. YOU WILL SAVE BIG BUCKS AND I AM PLEASED TO OFFER THIS TO YOU TO OFFSET THE TERRIBLE NEW HIGH SHIPPING CHARGES. YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER SHIPPING DEAL ON THE INTERNET FOR RADIO SHOWS You will love this show and it belongs in your collection. It is a great variety of music along with interviews and facts about each featured artist. You will enjoy great music and the best part is that you can hear them again and again, over and over, whenever you want. 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. 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. IT IS AMERICANA! MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE SHOWS EXIST AND SO DON'T KNOW WHAT TREASURES THEY ARE. THE INTERVIEWS ARE PRICELESS. THEY ARE A PART OF 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 Good Luck and God Bless You.
