KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES PRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST SPECIAL RADIO SERIES THAT EVER AIRED FEATURING THE EARLY ROCK ERA . SOLID GOLD SCRAPBOOK AS YOU CONSIDER THIS SHOW AND SERIES, BECAUSE EACH HOUR OF THE SHOW CONTAINED ONE THEME THAT RAN THROUGHOUT THE HOUR, EACH EDITION BECOMES 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. 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 the show dj's, all experts on early rock music. It is a great variety of music along with RARE interviews insight 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 the dj’s who came after him, you will enjoy the great production values of this series from beginning to end through over 1500 unique, different shows over almost 8 years. Again, because each show devoted a full hour to one each theme, they had the time to play not only the top hits but some 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 may not have ever heard before. The soundtrack of our lives were shaped by this music Even Dick Bartley's update of this show, first aired in 1992, 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! Now, here is something you may not have known if you know of this amazing series. When you search eBay, you will only see vinyl offerings for this series.But it is a little known fact that Solid Gold Scrapbook was also on cd.Unistar Broadcasting/United Stations Radio Network switched all its shows from vinyl to cd in May, 1991. There was a month's transition when shows were sent to affiliate stations in both vinyl and cd format. In June, 1991, cd only distribution began.Sadly, Solid Gold Scrapbook was cancelled in December, 1991. The last show aired in mid December. So in the almost 8 years of the show, only 6 months of the show are available on cd.Production of the show stopped because by late 1991, audience demographics had shifted away from the early rock era to the 70's and beyond and there were not enough affiliate stations remaining to make production of the show profitable enough.The early rock era was becoming more a memory than a driving force in music.The cd shows are extremely rare and impossible to find I have spent literally 30 years of my collecting life completing my collection of the rare cd hours of the show. At last accounting I have all but two.I am offering fellow collectors shows I have with more than one of the same date.If you love this series. If you love radio shows. If you love the golden age of the dawn of rock, these shows are for you. THIS SHOW WAS TITLED, "SUMMERTIME, SUMMERTIME' featured 15 of the greatest summer hits from the early rock era AND AIRED ON FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1991 EVEN THE COMMERCIALS WHICH WE HATED BACK THEN NOW BRING BACK FOND MEMORIES OF AN AGE GONE BY, SOME BY COMPANIES THAT NO LONGER EXIST. ON THIS SHOW YOU WILL HEAR FROM ROLAIDS, SCOTCHGARD, RAID, HOOKED ON PHONICS, DENNY'S GRAND SLAM 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. 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. Most air on Saturday or Sunday mornings, afternoons or evenings or less often during overnight segments or 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 a downloaded collection, 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. 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 I use the eBay International Shipping Service, so the more you buy the more money you will save. Good Luck and God Bless You.
