Old Time Radio's Greatest Shows clearly and fully lives up to its title as it showcases sixty of the finest radio program series to constitute the "Golden Age" of radio broadcasting. Ranging from Burns And Allen; The Lone Ranger; Dragnet; and Dimension X; to The Screen Director's Assignment; The Green Hornet; The Quiz Kids; and Songs By Sinatra; the 30 hours of programming in this magnificently presented anthology covers all of the diverse genres of popular radio programing from comedies, mysteries, and dramas, to science fiction, westerns, and variety shows. This superbly presented sampler is enhanced with a sturdy album case and a booklet which includes details and history for each show. A perfect introduction for new generations of listeners (as well as appreciative nostalgic old-timers!), Old Time Radio's Greatest Shows is very highly recommended for personal and community library audiobook collections.

If you're looking to get your feet wet in collecting recordings of American old-time radio, this is an excellent place to start. Every genre of '30s and '40s radio (except possibly news) is represented in this well-done collection. A great place to start what can become a lifelong hobby.

A very good deal, especially for those who are not sure which shows may be of interest to them. The booklet is excellant and contributes to the enjoyment of the programs. Many hours of entertainment for a very small investment.

If you're new to the subject of old time radio, this collection is a great place to start; find out about particular interests (e.g., westerns, mysteries, etc) and seek out new ones. P.S. "The Whistler" and "Bergen and Mccarthy" are the best of OTR, hands down!
WHAT A DEAL!!! April 13, 1998

Just what it says: episodes from 60 of radio's greatest half-hour shows. Benny, Hope, Fibber & Molly, X-One, Suspense, Escape, even Quiz Kids! All top quality sound, with dates and magazine-sized "liner notes"! The best collection available; great for nostalgic listening or introducing latecomers to the magic of radio. Twenty cassettes, thirty hours.
