I HAVE ALMOST EVERY HOUR OF THE LEGENDARY DICK CLARK SOLID GOLD RADIO SHOW SERIES WHICH RAN DAILY FOR ONE FULL YEAR, HIS FIRST VENTURE INTO RADIO SYNDICATION AND RARELY AVAILABLE EXCEPT HERE IN KEITH'S KOLLECTABLES!Most of you who know me, collectors who have dealt with me over the years, know that one of my dj's of all time is DICK CLARK. Dick's were the Ferrari of Radio Shows, la creme de la creme. Dick Clark was one of the first Masters of Rock and Roll. His Dick Clark's American Bandstand set the pace for a multitude of acts to become famous His dance party format spread across the country and local versions were top rated in their markets. His tv show went on for over 30 years. At one time he had three shows on the ABC Network - his daily American Bandstand show, his Saturday night Beech Nut Gum show and his summer Where The Action Is show. And it was not only television where he attracted millions in his audience. On radio it was the same story. He started in the syndication market in the mid 70's with this series, an hour show, each hour with a special focus. Then he started his countdown show (he had three different countdown shows in his career). Then he started Rock Roll and Remember which at first was hosted by legendary California dj Gene Weed since Dick was under contract to Mutual Broadcasting. He made guest appearances on the Rock Roll and Remember show and finally could be the sole host. This show is THE benchmark against which all oldies shows were compared. The format was never duplicated but was imitated everywhere. But there was only ONE Dick Clark. Only ONE person with the knowledge of the business and the artists that he had. What he packed in one weekly show of songs and interviews was just plain over the top. It was a first class show for an initial outing from Dick. Every show had a special feature, usually an artist or group or date in musical history This show was absolutely unbelievable and now you can own one or more for yourself. It came as pictured with one stereo LP WITH its cue sheet in good to excellent condition. (after all these shows are over 45 years old ! Most have some board ops markings on them which actually adds to their interest ) Dick Clark's SOLID GOLD was distributed by DIAMOND P ENTERPRISES and the series was pressed in the mid 1970's for sale to stations. there was one full years worth of daily unique weekly shows in the total series with extra shows for Christmas. These shows are very rare because they are Dick Clark and because of their age and limited distribution are the least available of any Dick Clark show I have ever listed. Most of the remaining shows of this series are kept by collectors and not sold. After all, it IS Dick Clark, the originator of the American Bandstand format that endured for over 40 years. Dick Clark IS the poster child of rock and roll . He IS Mr. Rock and Roll for my generation and beyond. Owning one of his shows is owning a piece of the rock of rock and roll. These shows are a bit more expensive than most but I have priced them right around what I paid for them. THIS SERIES IS ESPECIALLY RARE AND HARD TO FIND BECAUSE IT IS DICK'S FIRST VENTURE INTO A RADIO PROGRAM AFTER HIS ENORMOUSLY SUCCESSFUL TV CAREER BEGAN.AND TO FIND THEM IN THE MINT CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IS UNHEARD OF. This show is #142, IN THIS FIRST OUTING OF DICK CLARK INTO RADIO BROADCASTING. IT AIRED IN APPROXIMATELY 1976 (there is no specific air date since stations bought the series and ran it on their own schedule). The feature on this unique and rare show was "DURING THIS SHOW, DICK SPENDS A HALF HOUR WITH THE BYRDS AND A HALF HOUR WITH RAY STEVENS." There are 14 CLASSICS IN THIS HOUR ALONG WITH DICK CLARK, INTERVIEWS AND FEATURES.AND THERE ARE NO COMMERCIALS IN THE HOUR SHOW, JUST DICK CLARK, THE MUSIC, AND YOU.SONG LISTINGS CAN BE SEEN ON THE PICTURED CUE SHEET.REMEMBER, This is the VERY FIRST syndicated Dick Clark outing during a most prolific and wonderful career. Go find a quality show like this anywhere else for less! We lost a national icon when Dick passed away. You can own a part of the heritage that was Dick Clark when you own this special show, his masterpiece of music and presented as only Dick could. SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS: FIRST, WHAT EXACTLY 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. 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 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. 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 affiliated stations in the United StatesMany have just a few still 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 is about as rare as rare can be. And of course shows with lesser syndication were pressed in even fewer quantities. Many were just tossed away after airing because they would not be aired again and most radio stations had limited storage (believe me I know; I worked at one playing oldies by request for over seven glorious years!)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. 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 have actually significantly 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! This is the original show sent for airing. It is NOT an unauthorized copy but the Real McCoy!!! I personally guarantee that every radio show that I sell is the original show sent to stations. Each show comes from my personal collection over ten thousand radio shows of every genre.You are truly buying a show that will only increase in value and I am selling them at a price very close to what I paid for it. The show also comes with no commercials unlike most syndicated programming. These shows were sold directly to stations and then they were to sell their own advertising. Remember that this and all the radio music shows that you see on eBay 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 and music history. You just aren't going to find these shows around very much longer as everything is now digitized and downloaded for play and shows are no longer sent out on CD's. 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. It is a great show and would be a valuable addition to your collection. As always, for U.S. buyers, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy so the more you buy the more money you will save. For my international friends, I charge shipping for the heaviest show bought and every other show in the same package ships for free except for multi lp shows which add ONLY $10 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL MULTI LP SHOW and NO EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGE FOR SINGLE LP'S OR CD SETS. This is how I try to counter the terribly high shipping prices that recently took a huge hike. Good Luck and may God richly bless you always and forever.
