Description: HI GUYS AND GALS! IF YOU ARE A FAN OF BIG TIME RADIO COUNTDOWNS FROM THE 90'S WITH LOTS OF 80'S FLASHBACK HITS AND ARTIST PROFILES ON EVERY SHOW AND HOSTED BY THE LEGENDARY DICK CLARK, YOU WILL LOVE THIS SHOW 'DICK CLARK'S US MUSIC SURVEY'. READ ON FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT THIS SHOW. GREETINGS ONE AND ALL AND WELCOME TO KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES!DICK CLARK'S US MUSIC SURVEY WAS A WEEKLY THREE HOUR RADIO SHOW FOR NATIONAL AFFILIATE RADIO STATIONS FROM THE UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORK, OWNED BY DICK CLARK HIMSELF. IT WAS DICK'S THIRD OUTING INTO COUNTDOWN SHOWS AND SADLY HIS LAST, CONTINUING UNTIL THE END OF 2004 WHEN HE HAD HIS STROKE.DICK'S PREVIOUS COUNTDOWN SHOWS WERE DICK CLARK'S NATIONAL MUSIC SURVEY WHICH STARTED IN 1981 AND WAS A THREE HOUR WEEKLY LP SHOW AIRING ON THE MUTUAL BROADCASTING SYSTEM. IN LATE 1985, DICK BEGAN HIS COUNTDOWN AMERICA LP SHOW FOR THE UNITED STATIONS RADIO NETWORK. THIS WAS A FOUR HOUR SHOW. AS TECHNOLOGY PROGRESSED INTO THE DIGITAL AGE, SO DID DICK CLARK'S COUNTDOWN AMERICA. WHEN THE SHOW TRANSITIONED FROM LP's TO CD's IN 1992 THE SHOW STRANGELY ALSO ALSO CHANGED FROM FOUR HOURS TO THREE. THE COUNTDOWN SHRUNK FROM THE TOP 30 OF THE WEEK WITH AN ARTIST PROFILE AND A YEAR FEATURE TO THE TOP 20 OF THE WEEK ALONG WITH ARTIST AND YEAR FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE SHOW.IN 1995, DICK CHANGED THE SHOW TITLE TO DICK CLARK'S US MUSIC SURVEY.THESE COUNTDOWN SHOWS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UNIQUE AMONG RADIO SHOWS BECAUSE THEY WERE DICK CLARK, PROBABLY THE BEST KNOWN AND MOST POPULAR DJ OF ALL TIME. GENERATIONS GREW UP ENJOYING 'AMERICA'S TEENAGER', THE MAN WHO NEVER SEEMED TO AGE AND THROUGHOUT HIS WHOLE CAREER INTRODUCED AMERICA AND THE WORLD TO NEW ARTISTS WHO BECAME SUPERSTARS.EACH SHOW HAD AN ARTIST FEATURE THAT RAN THROUGH THE ENTIRE THREE HOURS OF THE SHOW. THERE WERE ALSO FLASHBACK HITS EVERY HOUR GOING BACK TO THE 80'S AND EARLIER IN THE 90'S. EACH SHOW CONTAINED MULTIPLE INTERVIEWS EACH SHOW CAME ON THREE NICELY DECORATED CDs ALONG WITH THE CUE SHEETS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, SOME WITH THE RADIO STATION BOARD OPERATOR'S MARKS TO INDICATE WHEN A SEGMENT HAD COMPLETED AND TIMING CUES.THIS OFFERING IS FOR ONE HOUR OF THE SHOW AT A BARGAIN PRICETHE SHOW AIRED DURING THE WEEK OF JULY 21, 1997 AND WAS SHOW #97-30EVEN THE VINTAGE COMMERCIALS 27 YEARS LATER ARE FUN TO HEAR AND ALSO BRING BACK MEMORIES. NOW, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS, PLEASE READ ON AND ALSO HEAR MY OWN PERSONAL STORY OF HOW I CAUGHT THE RADIO SHOW FEVER! (AND BEWARE, YOU MIGHT JUST BE NEXT!! THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE!!!)FIRST, HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS: 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. I, myself, 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 always being 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. So, again, what is a radio show? 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, they have a unique presentation of their favorite artist or music not available anywhere else and often with dj presentation which is 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 and many have just a few in circulation. Some of the more popular shows may have as many as a few hundred of each week's show that survived but think about it. A few hundred for some 200 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music. Many radio stations just tossed them away after airing because they could never be aired again due to the time limited commercials and the limited storage space at most radio stations (believe me I know, I worked at one for over seven glorious years as the night on air oldies dj, daytime show producer, daytime board operator, assistant engineer and station operator!)SO 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. 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 limited editions in the hundreds at most and many much less. Once you get hooked, like me, it is a love affair for life! Remember, when you buy these shows, not only will you own the tunes in immaculate condition, but also interspersed between songs is fascinating commentary on the artists and songs and wonderful interview segments and other features. 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. 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 Most people even enjoy the national commercials that are included on the show because some 24+ years later they sound fresh and bring back more innocent time! It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collectionGood Luck and God Bless You.
