WHY COLLECT THEM? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? Well, those are good questions, especially if you have never known of them. American Forces Radio and Television Service offerings (previously Armed Forces Radio and Television Service) are lps pressed by the military under license from record companies for use only on military facilities around the world. AND, thus, these lps are in extremely limited quantity. They were pressed just for military stations on board ships such as aircraft carriers (that's where I first came across them), and military facilities all over the world and there just were never that many, of course.The military radio stations used the music in their programming much as state side radio stations did for their listeners and each of these albums had tracks used in the programming depending on the main orientation of the station.Unlike today when we listen to stations that play the kind of music we want to hear, back then there would only be one station, or later on possibly an FM add on to the primary AM so there had to be a little something for every taste in music while the primary focus was either pop or country.So, it would be rare that every track in an album would be played on a regular basis and often, many were never played. That is one of the reasons why most of these records are in such great condition after all these years after their release.They served an invaluable service to our fighting men and women who, when away from home, wanted to connect with the music they loved.It was before the days of internet so these records were one of the only ways our military men and women could keep in touch with the music of home, listening to their AFRTS station.They were played on military run radio stations on bases or ships, and lovingly cared for because they represented home for everyone who heard them. There were just a few in circulation. One lp for each military facility around the world. AND for that reason, they are increasingly hard to find. This show was called THE TED QUILLAN SHOW. It came on two lps in a two hour weekly show. Each show was a tribute to the era of pop music and also contained an artist tributes.As an aside note, the Armed Forces programs that were hosted shows as opposed to their unhosted single lp offerings designed for use by local Armed Forces radio dj's at their home station be it on a military base or bigger Navy ships such as battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers, are significantly harder to find and are very very rare.Each show was hosted by legendary dj Ted Quillan. Ted Quillan was one of the original "Swingin' Seven DJs" who brought rock and roll into its first major market in 1958 at KFWB in Hollywood. He was in radio for over 60 years and was honored by the Nevada Broadcasters in 2005, when he was inducted into their Hall Of Fame.Ted became one of the original "Seven Swingin’ Gentlemen", who took Rock and Roll into its first major market, at KFWB. His listeners became known as the "Quiverin' Quillin Clan."One of the famous "Crusin" lp series commemorating the greats of early rock and roll radio featured a simulated hour of Ted Quillan on KFWB playing largely R&B music. (Since that series only featured the first 10 years of the rock n roll era, having Quillan featured in one of those hours was a testament to his expertise and popularity and his singular place in the history of rock.Quillin was portrayed in the film La Bamba by Rick Dees. During the late 1950s he became something of a mentor and advisor to the young Ritchie Valens.Ted did his show on Armed Forces Radio for many years and was heard on 530 radio stations worldwide. This show was broadcast while he was in Hollywood as well as after he moved permanently to Las Vegas. Years later the Armed Forces Network was re-broadcasting Quillin's shows on their radio stations.Ted always signed off any of his radio programs with his trademark slogan “Blue Skies and Green Lights.” Ted was rated #1 Personality Disc Jockey nationally, by the C. E. Hooper Audience Corp. while at KFWB. In 2005 Ted was inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame in Nevada. He received a standing ovation when he was called to accept his trophy. He was revered and respected by his peers.Ted Quillin died April 20, 2011, in Las Vegas.These shows were RU-15-2 These lps 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 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 and many do not even know what they are . And every one you buy is an original, not a copy, not a remake - all limited editions, perhaps one hundred or two hundred in total. SO WHY SHOULD YOU WANT ONE?FIRST OF ALL THEY ARE RARE AND WILL INCREASE IN VALUE.SECONDLY, IT IS A WAY TO HAVE A UNIQUE PRESENTATION BY YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST IN A LP FORM THAT IS NOW UNAVAILABLE AND HAS BEEN SINCE AROUND 1990.AND ALSO, IF YOU ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH, YOU CAN FIND WHOLE SHOWS THAT WERE RECORDED IN THE UNITED STATES SPECIFICALLY FOR PLAY OVERSEAS ON MILITARY FACILITIES. THESE SHOWS WERE HOSTED BY THE BEST PERSONALITIES IN RADIO.THE CONTENTS OF THE LP CAN BE SEEN ON THE LISTING PICTURE.OWNING THIS RARE PRESENTATION IN THIS FORMAT WILL BE A VALUED ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTIONThese shows are true Americana I am pleased to offer these great and rare lps 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 lps 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. Remember that these lps are disappearing from the market because they are no longer available. The lp shows have not been made since around 1990, much earlier for some shows, 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 collecting and selling radio shows is a vanishing hobby as the shows quickly disappear. Well, I still sell Betamax machines and they sell quicklyT 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 sets which add only $10 a show to the shipping cost, still a huge savings, so the more you buy the more money you will save. Good Luck and God Bless You.
