Old King Biscuit and BBC Rock Hour shows

I am looking for copies of earlier King Biscuit Flower Hour and BBC Rock Hour shows that were originally sent to radio stations on reel to reel. Anyone out there with any reels and/or copies of complete shows? I am looking to add to my collection plus attempting to get a complete listing of every show that was aired. Any help and/or info would be greatly apprecaited.

Wasn't it "King Biscuit FLOUR Hour"? If so, using "flower"
might be preventing web searches from producing usable results.

No, it is Flower, not Flour.

Flour> noun A powder obtained by grinding grain, used to make breads, cakes, and pastry. Verb> sprinkle with flour. ORIGIN a specific use of FLOWER in the sense "the best part", used originally to mean "the finest quality of ground wheat.

Les, we know Vinyl copies are available on the Internet. I've never seen them on reel to reel. Do you have any of the old King Biscuit Flower Hour's left on Wire?

I've had original reels in my hands awhile back. What ones I did have, I have then archived onto cd. Shows from 1973-75 are the hardest to come by. When the program was first introduced, there were only a handful of affiliates, so the number of reels distributed were less than when the program really started hitting its stride. Also, the program was run only on the second and last Sunday of each month. Reels from 76-80 still exist and are more readily found.
