This Time...... OLD TIME RADIO PRESENTS! "THE ULTIMATE SAMPLER" 219 Episodes of different Radio Shows An Early Christmas Present! Purchase any 5 listings and receive "ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS" Free!! ****** Some of these programs were recorded in the early 1930's and 1940's so the sound may not be state of the art that we know today. That is part of the charm of these programs in that what you are hearing is the same thing that people heard when they tuned into these programs. These programs are a part of our country history known as "The Golden Age of Radio". A great number of episodes of these programs have been lost, never to be reproduced, and we do not want to see any more programs disappear. Please join us in perserving this portion of Americana so is doesn't disappear completely. Thank you for looking. Happy Bidding. ****** You may be able to find MP3 discs for less and we could offer ours for less also if we were to cut costs. We could write the title of the program on the disc but we prefer to have a picture lable with the title of the program printed on it; We could put the CD in a paper or plastic sleeve but, again, we prefer to use a quality, sturdy plastic jewel case for each Cd.; we also prefer to use a picture for the jewel case along with a booklet listing the episodes on the CD. We enjoy what we do and we appreciate the friends we have made here on Ebay over the years and we pride ourselves on offering quality products so that is what we will keep producing. Do you fit into any of the following catagories? (1) You grew up listening to OTR. (2) You have heard some shows but are not sure what shows you would like. (3) You have not experienced the joy of Old Time Radio. Regardless of which catagory you fall into this SAMPLER SET is for YOU! "The GOLDEN AGE of RADIO" ran from the early 1930's to the early 1960's and featured all genres: Comedy, Drama, Western, History, Musical Variety, Detective, Super Hero, Horror, Soap Opera, Children and many, many more. The Ultimate Sampler consists of episodes from all of these genres. Before the days of video games, shopping malls, MTV, and the Internet, families used to sit in their living room each night to listen to radio shows such as Superman, Groucho Marx, The Avenger, Gunsmoke, Sherlock Homes, and many others. When TV become popular in the 1950's, most of these shows went off the air, but they now live on at websites such as this one and on weekly nostalgia radio broadcasts worldwide. These shows, which are in the Public Domain, are very difficult to find. After a title search of the Library of Congress Copyright records, no copyright exists on this material; therefore making these programs Public Domain.
