KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES PRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL RADIO SERIES THAT EVER AIRED FEATURING BLUES . The House of Blues And, while the music can be found anywhere, this show presents music with Blues Brother Co-Founder Dan Akroyd sharing his love for blues with insights, humor, wonderful announcing and special unique interviews, it is guaranteed to please and amaze. The show comes on one cd in perfect condition looking just like when it was pressed, and played only once, the day it was aired. Each show comes along with its cue sheet in excellent condition.Each House of Blues show was accompanied by a companion cd called 'Blues Breaks'This was a daily show for affiliate radio stations to run as a build up for the weekend show. It contained one theme, usually with an interview, on each show.Unfortunately,in many cases this companion show got separated from the main show because of the scheduling of its daily five to six minutes shows.So, when I have both, I list them together. When I have only one or the other, I list them separately for a lower price.This show is The House of Blues Radio Hour #167 and Aired on November 16, 1996Even the national commercials are interesting and fun to hear after all these years. You don't hear to hear any of those boring local commercials and if you don't like the national commercials just hit the next track and off you go back to the music. But, you will be surprised how many memories even these old commercials bring back after almost 30 years. SO WHAT ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU ARE NOT SURE ABOUT RADIO SHOWS? 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 and weekdays. 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 download, 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 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. 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 only through digital downloadThese shows become rarer and rarer every day because the people who buy them hold on to them. If they do later sell, it is to make a huge profit since prices go up all the time. 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. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Welcome to the Club!Also, keep in mind that this and all radio shows are not just about the music - the music for the most part 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 so the more you buy the more you save in shipping charges. And for my international friends, shipping is exclusively handled by the eBay International Shipping Program. Good Luck and God Bless You.
