This episode has always been bad, and it also had a patched open. It's a little better here, with the patch removed (I took it off fast so it might hurt less).

AFRTS version found. It's a little better than the network version in common circulation, but both could use an upgrade.

Thanks for all the great shows you share!

Thanks Greybelt. Your efforts and generosity are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Greybelt.

Thanks so much for the upgrades Greybelt. They have been wonderful to listen to.

John Abbott author of the books about the Johnny Dollar series has published a web page of Bailey's appearances on radio series and in specific programs. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] The site can also lead you to photos of BB in movies and TV and also new info since the most recent edition of the YTJD series was published. John would also like to hear from others who may have additional information for the page. Enjoy!

sorry i get page cannot be found

The other day I put up some YTJD 5-parters that are AFRS versions in the Hehn Collection pages at archive.org. The 6-part Kranesburg Matter was edited down to 5 parts by the AFRS! It is detailed and deciphered on the page.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

For years, early collectors had only these AFRS versions of a few 5-parters and they were in bad sound. These have been processed to be much better. There are a few stray episodes that still need to be posted but these are the only complete 5-episode stories in the Hehn collection.

The network 5-parters did not come out until the late 1970s and were in superior sound. Early collectors did not take YTJD seriously -- think about it -- if they started collecting in 1967, YTJD was just five years ago... so it couldn't have been from the golden age of radio!

I did not realize how deep the feeling was until I saw the lack of YTJD from the end of its run these tape collections. It made sense -- even late era Suspense and Gunsmoke were missing.

It was the later collectors who had access to the better sounding 5-parters who grew to appreciate YTJD and especially Bob Bailey. Today, 5-part YTJD is the favorite series on the SiriusXM RadioClassics channel. The original collectors would be quite surprised... and would most likely love it as much as we do after they heard them in high quality sound without the hum and the hiss and speed problems (most of this AFRS batch was 8% fast!).

Thanks it's nice to hear the 5 part JD with clear clean audio , just listened to the old recordings and the new , big difference

We have a lot of YTJD upgrades on their way. These won't be posted with extensive newspaper clippings and such. The authority on all these things is John Abbott and his marvelous books available at Bear Manor Media with Kindle versions available at Amazon if you want to save some money. Remember, Amazon has free software that you can use to open Kindle books; you don't need to buy a Kindle. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The postings will cite the page number that are in the second edition of John's books. Please also note John's update page [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
It is unlikely there will be a third edition of John's book, so this page will be the place where new information is added for us.

Today's episode is in V1, page 201

Either something else is going on or these are going to be really popular Greybelt. I just tried to download it and your daily cap had been reached.

As an aside, I've been listening to the Mandel Kramer episodes recently and while the writing is not up to earlier standards in my opinion, I certainly don't mind his portrayal of the part. I was initially surprised to hear the name as I remembered him from Counterspy but nothing else. I had no idea he was on TV too and played the police chief on the soap, Edge of Night, for 20 years. The funny thing is that show was the only one my mom ever watched but I guess I was too young to remember the actors.

Same info for me

I have posted an alternative link.... please go to the post and use hubiC today -- I'm trying to figure out what's up with Degoo in the meantime. So if you can try that first if you are downloading on Feb 20 or later, please let me know if you have problems.

thank you greybelt THAT WORKED

Today's episode is in John Abbott's second edition V1, page 206

My free Degoo account has reached some kind of limit, so I will use hubiC for the time being. A support request has been filed with Degoo.

I can get more Degoo space and headroom if others join in. The basic free plan is 100GB. I get an additional 5GB each time someone new joins and so does that new joiners. I'm up to 125GB so far.

hubiC is closed to new users; it was a cloud R&D project, and when they decided to switch to a different kind of cloud business, they decided to let all the hubiC users continue and not shut down the service. That was really nice compared to a few years ago when Barracuda Systems shut down copy.com with 30 days notice. Kudos to the hubiC R&D team!

thanks greybelt

You should have another 5gb now Greybelt. It was easy to do. Thanks again for posting the upgrades.
