ROCK OVER LONDON

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SHOW AND THEN IF YOU DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RADIO SHOWS, KEEP READING AND I WILL GIVE IT MY BEST SHOT FOR YOU.

It aired weekly on theRock Over London Radio Network.

It featured the top UK hits of the week along with rare interviews, retrospectives, special features, and inside information on UK music. This made the show even more unique and fun.

Rock Over London was a one hour radio programme hosted by UK disc jockey Graham Dene. It aired the latest hot new UK hits, usually before they were hits or even recognized in the US, and it counted down the weeks top 5 songs. It was how most rock music lovers encountered a lot of the UK artists that often didnt have hits yet on the US charts . The likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, Talk Talk, China Crisis, the Waterboys, even New Order.

THIS SERIES PRODUCED TWO SHOWS EVERY WEEK. ONE VERSION OF THE SHOW FALLS UNDER THE AOR FORMAT AND THE OTHER VERSION THE HAC VERSION. BOTH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE VERSION LISTED IS NOTED IN THE LISTING TITLE. BOTH BELONG IN YOUR COLLECTION OF GREAT MUSIC FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Album-oriented rock(AOR, originally calledalbum-oriented radio) is anfm radio formatcreated in the United States in the late 1960s that focuses on the full repertoire ofrockalbums and is currently associated withclassic rock

US radio stations dedicated to playing album tracks by rock artists from the hard rock and progressive rock genres initially established album-oriented radio. In the mid-1970s, AOR was characterized by a layered, mellifluous sound and sophisticated production with considerable dependence on melodic hooks. The AOR format achieved tremendous popularity in the late 1960s to the early 1980s through research and formal programming to create an album rock format with great commercial appeal.

From the early 1980s onward, the abbreviation AOR transitioned from "album-oriented radio" to "album-oriented rock", meaning radio stations specialized in classic rock recorded during the late 1960s and 1970s.

The termis also commonly conflated with album oriented rock , a radio format that also uses the initialism "AOR" and covers not only album-oriented rock but also album tracks and deep cutsfrom a range of other rock genres, such as soft rock and pop rock

In comparison is CHR radio

Contemporary hit radio(also known asCHR,contemporary hits,hit list,current hits,hit music,top 40, orpop radio)that focuses on playing current and recurrent popular music as determined by the top 40 charts.There are several subcategories, dominantly focusing on rock, pop or urban music. Used alone,CHRmost often refers to the CHR-pop format. The termcontemporary hit radiowas coined in the early 1980s by Radio & Recordsmagazine to designate Top 40stations which continued to play hits from all musical genres as pop music splintered into different formats.

These stations typically are hybrids of the contemporary hit radio (CHR/pop) andHACformats. This format contains a strong focus on current charts, contemporary and recurrent hits as well as placing a minority of older, classic hits onto the playlist. Adult CHR stations play pop-friendly rhythmic, dance and hip hop titles alongside standard mainstream pop and pop rock fare, and often shying away from the most rhythmic CHR titles until they are established hits on the format.

This show aired December 4, 1992 and wasshow #92-49

It was hosted by legendary UK dj Paul Sexton

Cue sheets are available for this show and are in excellent condition a very few with markings from the radio station board operator as he/she played the show on air.

You wont hear any local commercials but you will find that even those national commercials in between show segments are fun to listen to after 32+ years. Funny how back then we hated the commercials back then but now they, too, bring back fond memories of our growing up. Especially from national companies no longer with us that we also grew up with like K-Mart, Radio Shack, and more.

You will love this show and it belongs in your collection.

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 became the driving force in radio show sales (and everything else) in the later 1990s.

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; The Old Hippie 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 lesseravailability.

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.

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 Clarks and Casey Kasems 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

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 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 dont 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 60s or 2000s, rock, countdown, oldies, country, classical, religious, jazz or big band, it is unique and home grown.

And you just cant 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 with a maximum of 170 copies pressed for each show.

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 themusic - the music for the most part 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 arent 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 forU.S.buyers so the more you buy the more you save in shipping charges. And for my international friends, shipping is exclusively handled by the eBay International Shipping Program.

So, lets sail together on the SS Keiths Kollectables and sail into parts unknown seeking the best radio shows that ever aired that you can treasure forever.

Its pure gold, Mateys!!!

Good Luck and God Bless You.
