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. 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. Each Monday Night from 1938-1952 family members would gather around the radio to hear the Lux Radio Theater. This program provided listeners to a story that was based upon a popular movie. Each play would usually have the same stars that were in the movie. The list of stars appearing on this program read like a whos Who of Hollywood film stars. The plays presented included Drama, Mystery, Adventure, Comedy and Western. So sit back with the family and enjoy one or more of these plays. Each Cd has More than 10 hours of enjoyment.
