Although he is much better known for his radio stints as a soul music disc jockey and also an announcer on the "Soul Train" program, Sid McCoy was the principal jazz producer for Vee Jay Records. He produced dates by Wayne Shorter, Wynton Kelly, Lee Morgan, Eddie Harris, and others on Vee Jay from the late '50s to the early '60s. It is very rare to find transcriptions such as "Special Edition" where you can hear him at his prime interacting with the best soul acts of all time.IT WAS A ONE HOUR SHOW, ON ONE LP IN LIKE NEW CONDITIONEACH WEEK FEATURED A DIFFERENT ARTIST FOR THE HOUR WITH SONGS AND INTERVIEWS.IT CAME IN AN ATTRACTIVE ALBUM, UNUSUAL FOR RADIO SHOWS.This show aired on DECEMBER 30, 1985 AND WAS SHOW #86-01IT FEATURED RAY PARKER, JRIT IS EXTREMELY RARE.I am pleased to offer these great and rare shows to you. It is not only the music but a piece of Americana that most people do not even know about. It is a piece of radio history you are getting with these shows. 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. I am saving those shows I treasure the most and sharing the rest with you for very reasonable prices. Even the commercials are great and fun to listen to and remember they are over 35 years old SO HERE ARE THE BIG QUESTIONS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS: FIRST OF ALL, 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. 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 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? 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 nights 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 bought at Wal Mart or wherever, 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 syndicated stations. 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 350 million Americans and millions of overseas collectors who look for unique presentations of their favorite artists or form of music. AND they are increasingly hard to find. They were first distributed on reel to reel tape or 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. 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 Remember that these shows are disappearing from the market because they are no longer available. The lp shows have not been made since the early 90's and they have the truest fidelity as you know if you are an audiophile. The CD shows are now also unavailable as shows are now only in digital downloads. So, the days of unique shows not copied from the soundboard of a station and sold as such are gone. This is all there is and will be. It is said that selling radio shows is a vanishing hobby as the shows quickly disappear. Well, I still sell Betamax machines and they sell quickly whenever I list them so that is not true, but it is true that they will become rarer and harder to find so grab them now while the prices are still reasonable. As always, I charge only shipping on the first show you buy for U.S. buyers and for my international friends pay shipping for the heaviest show and all others ship for no extra charge except for multi lp shows, so the more you buy the more money you will save. Good Luck and God Bless You.
