For those of you who were fortunate enough to grow up in the era when radio was fun, and as important as the music they played; when the disc jockey from your local hometown station or syndicated weekend shows hosted by the top national dj's in the country were like best friends and you looked forward to every show; you can consider yourself among the lucky.

Increasingly, radio today is so impersonal that few even listen.  The few remaining Disc Jockeys now broadcast from a major city like L.A. or New York and present it as if they are your hometown DJ.  That is because they simulcast to hundreds of stations across the country with liners to simulate it is a local broadcast.

The stations that still have their own DJs are dwindling as we speak.  Just recently came sad news that a classic rock pioneer radio station since 1965, Southern California legend KCAL-FM laid off its entire staff and is now fully automated.  The senior DJ at that station had been on the air at KCAL for 42 years.  Most others had been broadcasting at KCAL multiple years.

So we listen to our music increasingly via streaming be it Sirius/SM, Apple, Amazon, or many others where we can customize our own playlists.  Broadcast radio has become an anachronism.

Luckily, collectors have preserved a living history of those glory days of radio in the form of LP and CD radio shows that were broadcast from the late 60's to about 2012 when most radio shows switched to satellite delivery and there no longer was a physical media to protect the memories.  

Most broadcast radio shows from that era have vanished.  Legalities prevented stations from rebroadcasting any show and were directed to return them to the syndicator of the show or destroy them.  And there were never more than 175 copies of each show in the first place reflecting the top 175 radio markets in the country.

Every remaining radio show be it oldies, rock, country, religious, classic rock, jazz, blues, bluegrass, drama shows like old time radio, and more is a rare representation of an era that is gone forever.  Even if the genre you find is not your favorite, owning one is a piece of history and will only become rarer over time.

At Keith's Kollectables, we have been buying every show we could find for a reasonable price since 1987, almost 40 years.  We have an inventory of over 15,000 unique radio shows that we offer to you at the best prices we can give.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

BOYS AND GIRLS,

 FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS, 

AND FANS OF GREAT EARLY ROCK MUSIC FROM THE LATE 1950's TO THE MID 1970's, PRESENTED BY THE GREATEST DJ's OF ALL TIME...

WITH EVERY HOUR LONG SHOW FEATURING  MANY DIFFERENT CREATIVE THEMES  AND FEATURES

AND ESPECIALLY RARE SONGS NOT OFTEN INCLUDED IN BROADCAST RADIO SHOWS, MANY OF WHICH YOU HAVE NOT HEARD SINCE THEY WERE POPULAR, YOU WILL LOVE 'FORGOTTEN OLDIES WITH DAVE "RECORDS" STONE'

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE FOR ALMOST EVERY HOUR EVER BROADCAST OF THIS RARE SERIES.

The history of this show and the legendary radio station from which it originated is fascinating.  I will only give you the highlights here but you can go online and type good guy radio in the search box or KISN AM you can read the entire history of this landmark station that was home not only to Dave "Records" Stone but also Roger W Morgan, The Real Don Steele, and many other nationally famous, ground breaking disc jockeys.

KISN AM radio was located in the upper Northwest and was one of the "Boss Radio" formatted stations that took over the Portland market with its 5000 watt AM signal. For years it ruled in the ratings but ran into FCC trouble through probably questionable ownership decisions combined with political intrigue and ultimately had to leave the air.  It presently is resurrected as a low power fm, a shell of its former self but playing the same great music that made it nationally famous.

In 2003, Dave Records Stone launched this show, a brief attempt at syndication of the local format to a nationwide audience. 

 Any syndication venture is difficult and risky and usually was done through the biggest national players like United Stations or Westwood One who had the resources to produce and promote and sell radio programming.

Dave was able to keep the show going for a year but never had more than 15 stations at its peak and after a year, Dave and his crew stopped production of the show.

But, for the year it existed, it was a bright spot in radio playing songs that no other syndicated program played.  The lost songs of rock, those songs that we heard and loved but which had sometimes short shelf life in the charts and then they were gone.  You hear them on this show.

It was a one hour show on one cd, many shows with themes but all with great songs from the early rock era. The show had great production values but was distributed on a simple cd-r format with an avery printed label, much like similar limited distribution shows of other genres from syndicators lacking the resources for pictured cd presentations.  And of course since the shows were not meant to be kept, playable for just the one date of broadcast, how they looked was really not a big deal.

But what is on each show IS!  And you will love every one.  I own most of the remaining  existing shows of this series, having acquiring many years ago the shows kept in reserve for stations who needed replacement copies.  When they are gone, you will see these no longer.  In fact, over the years, I have never seen one on ebay ever.

  The show comes on 1 CD in perfect condition looking just like it was  just pressed and was played only once, the day it was aired. 

 This show comes with its cue sheet in excellent condition.   Give a listen to one and you will be hooked!

  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 currently list over 10,000 unique radio shows of all genres for you all to drool over, and most at prices, hopefully, that collectors can better afford! Over my years of selling great radio shows, I have sold over 37,000 great radio shows over the course of my career with a 100% feedback from happy buyers. 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.

  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 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 download

These 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, I have one of the biggest radio show libraries in the world with thousands as yet unlisted 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. 

  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, rare interviews 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.  

 Good Luck and God Bless You.
