Multiple albums out there but I have the K and L sides...If you are a fan of Old Time Radio, this is a very good LP to have in the library...Mine has the "Cat Wife" radio play and it is downright freaky...Even back then they could scare you big time as you listened in a darkened room to good radio...
Excellent compilation of the history of radio and its influence on American society. Some of the most impacting sound clips are from WWII. You can almost feel what it must have been like when the family gathered around the old radio to laugh, to cry, to be entertained and informed. What a joy to listen to the history about America's first major medium of home entertainment and news.
