Westwood One Radio LPs


Hi!
Does anyone have experience with the Westwood One Radio Network LPs of live concerts?
I am interested in their quality of sound as well as value in the used market.
I found a few for sale on eBay while researching them, to find variable pricing and not a lot of info otherwise...

We used to make those every week at RTI, along with American Top 40(Casey Kasem)and just about every other syndicated radio show before they all went satellite. I've got stuff going back to the 70's. I will check my basement stash for any WWO.
The WWO LP's were pressed at Record Technology in Camarillo California, under my watchful eye. RTI was (and still is)the finest pressing plant in existence. The program content and recordings for WWO were of the finest caliber too, as I recall.
That's ok, I know you didn't. If they have been properly cared for they should sound excellent. Be advised that some LP's had a reference 1k tone at the start of each side, and an occasional locked groove between cuts (these were for DJ convenience). The AT40 show did - I don't recall whether or not the WWO series had them.
