The Passing Parade - Pgm 9

Filed under: Passing Parade, medical related — randsesotericotr @ 11:53 pm

Well, some folks reading the blog seemed to enjoy my posting of “The Passing Parade”, a series syndicated by MGM Radio Attractions, so here’s another program in John Nesbit’ts series of odd and unusual tales. Episode 9 concerns the story of Franz Anton Mesmer, a man who was both a genius … and a charlatan.

The mp3 was transferred from an original MGM Radio Attractions vinyl transcription, matrix number MGM JN 1609.

About This Blog and Podcast

This blog and podcast features recordings of unusual and esoteric original 16" radio transcriptions from my personal collection - shows that aren't widely circulated among OTR (old time radio) collectors. If you have 16" transcriptions, you're interested in selling, particularly syndicated shows from the 1930s and 40s, please email me. You can also visit my home page to learn about my other interests at http://www.coolcatdaddy.com.

What's a Transcription?

Transcriptions were used from the 1930s through the 1950s to distribute syndicated radio shows to stations. They're 16" discs, usually made of vinyl like modern records, but sometimes pressed of thick, heavy shellac, like a 78. The discs hold a maximum of 15 minutes per side. For playback, they require a special turntable and a wide-groove 78 needle, along with proper equalization for proper reproduction on modern equipment.

I can also provide an archival high quality professional level digital copy of a program to qualified copyright owners for their own archives. I'm interested in helping preserve radio history and inspire new interest in this area, not in harming the intellectual property rights of any valid copyright holders that still have commercial outlets for their work.
