I used to have several of these programs on cassette which I played on my replica 1932 Crosley radio. While many of these recordings are over 50 years old, they have held up in their quality because they have been properly stored and treated. Also, b y using modern hi-tech equipment, you can modify some of the surface distortions such as "ticks" and "burrs." Also there is not the sound drop which sometimes occurs with old recordings which have come down through the years without too much treatment. These AFRS recordings were sent to post WWII service bases for broadcast. In some cases, they are the only recordings of a particular program left because the commercial recordings heard on the network were discarded.

Of course, when it went out over a radio, there was the additional environmental additions of static, etc. But this is a fine example to young fans of old time radio who never had an opportunity to be in an audience, or in a recording studio when these dramas were broadcast. This one is truly ear-popping! Hi Randy, Thanks for an excellent example of what radio probably sounded like in the recording studios of the networks.

Your sidebar description seems to indicate you made them - but surely i'm interpreting that wrong. Where did you obtain your amazing collection of OTR transcriptions?
