( 11-20Before a VINYL RECORD was released to the public, a small number of copies were often pressed and sent to distribution-company executives and radio-station disc jockeys for promotional purposes. In some cases the limited press runs of these promo records were produced so the band could approve the final layout, album-cover art, and sound quality.Great to go thru to read THE DISC JOCKEY'S hand written notes, OF WHAT THIS DJ THOUGHT WAS A GOOD SONG FROM WAY BACK, IN THE SOUTH..The songs on the records are various. The records play well with some noise from use. Some have never been played. All WITH COVERS. DETAILSTHIS IS A RARE FIND-- A COLLECTION FROM ROD JONES, A SOUTHERN DISC JOCKEY FROM MAINLY TWO RADIO STATIONS- WQTV AND WFMI BACK IN THE 60'S THRU 90'S. THE NUMEROUS BOXES WERE ACQUIRED FROM A COLLECTION. THE VARIOUS RECORDS HAVE DISC JOCKEY NOTES ON THEM AS TO WHICH RECORD OR SONG TO PLAY, AND RATING THE SONG AS GOOD OR NOT, ETC. Since the Radio station had an over-abundance of records to choose from when they pick which, the DJ would choose which records to play, choosing a recording that gets a passionate sales pitch.THE RADIO STATIONS - WQTY AND WLMIWQTY radio station DISC JOCKEY PROBABLY FROM Montgomery in the early 1960s on Alabama's first now-defunct radio station WQTY--AM 1000, which originated from the Frank Leu building in downtown Montgomery, Alabama and from the 1980's and 1990's WFMI, The station operated as an OLDIES station called "Oldies 106" until CIRCA August 2006 I have too many to include all photos but if interested, I can post or email more photos.

Because promos are produced in smaller quantity than releases made available to the general public, they are sometimes considered valuable collectors' items. They're never released in record stores.This collection includes records not available to the public are the so-called "Radio Station LPs". Since the early 1980's the large American radio networks and specialized companies produce complete radio shows licensed to local radio stations who included them in their usual schedules. The shows were delivered on records, which had to be destroyed immediately after broadcast. The impromo records had a cutout—usually a trimmed corner—or a hole punch to indicate that they were not for public sale. Others were adorned with stickers saying, “Not For Resale” or “For Promotional Use Only.” Prior to the eighties, most promos were issued with special labels and in special sleeves or covers. Some labels used their regular label with a slight variation or with a change in the typesetting to notate a promotional issue, highly sought after by collectors. CAPITOL RECORDS- several of these These records are part of a series of records Capitol released in the 1960s - they were made for DJs at radio stations, featured various Capitol releases contemporary with the record, and stylish covers of attractive women in various poses. Promotion is the word used to describe the work done by record labels to get radio airplay for their releases. Promotional Representatives, or "Promo Reps" are record label employees who present the label’s new releases to radio stations and try to persuade the station’s music and/or program director to play the song the label has selected for promotion. These were records that the labels are usually a different

color than the regular issue and have these designations to show that these records were free or at a reduced price to DJs,radio stations, record reviewers and the like and that they cannot be returned for credit. ______________________ GREAT COLLECTION! VISIT MY EBAY SHOP FOR MORE COLLECTIBLES
