Here's a rarity that took a bit of detective work to figure out. It's "The Chase and Sanborn Program" from June 17, 1945, originally broadcast on NBC. The series was a replacement for "The Pepsodent Show" when Bob Hope went on a USO tour. It sounds more like it's hosted by Francis Langford, rather than Spike Jones, but it was distributed by the Armed Forces Radio Servce as program 3 in the "Spike Jones" series. (You can see other examples of the program at the RadioGOLDindex.)
This episode is a remote from a military hospital in Santa Barbara, California. Francis Langford opens the show with "I'm Beginning to See the Light"; Spike Jones and company do "Choo Choo Polka", "Laura" and "You Always Hurt the One You Love", a parody of the Ink Spots. The program features Frances Langford, Spike Jones, Ken Carpenter and guest Garry Moore. The sound can be a little rough at times, but the original vinyl AFRS disc of this previously lost program was in atrocious condition. I ran the file through some declicker software I found online to see if it would make the program at least listenable. The date is taken from the disc vinyl trail-off area.
