Does anyone know how much these are worth?

Hmmmm. They pressed tons of these things every week to distribute to affiliates and I bet there is zero album art. On the other hand, they probably went straight into the trash on Sunday evening once the show was aired. Check on ebay!

yes, definately check on ebay.

Keep an eye on this auction-it is a 1972 show.

I worked in radio...and play on Ebay occasionally. Just checked and the average sale price seems to be around $30 - $40 per show when checking December 2006 completed sales.

Some are more rare than others, and it appears the older the better. I'd suggest list them on Ebay and set a reserve slightly lower, say $25 per show. Good luck!

Oh, well in that case, tell them you discussed their value with a radio station consultant (me), and that they were worth approximately $70 each, as they were in mint condition and had never been played...
