Old Time Radio Show Requests

That was the correct one. Thanks.

Is there a nice sounding version of Jack Benny 53-02-01 High Noon? I have 2 different very bad sounding copies.

I've got one that sounds pretty good converted at 96kbps.  I'll try to get it posted tonight for you.  Please let me know if it's better than what you've got.

Actually, this was far easier to do than I expected:
Jack Benny 1953-02-01

Does anyone have these?

KATE SMITH SHOW (4-11-46) From New York, with Ted Collins and guests Dorothy Lamour and columnist Ed Sullivan, who presents Kate with an award from Modern Screen magazine. Kate sings “Slowly” and “These Foolish Things”; Dorothy sings “Personality.” AFRS rebroadcast. (25 min)

SMILE TIME (1940s) A program of comedy and music starring Steve Allen and Wendell Noble, with June Foray. Steve and Wendell need new tires for their car. Songs include “Somebody Loves Me” and “Dearest Darling.” Sustaining, MBS. (14 min)

Got to love when a first post is a contribution and not a request. Thanks and welcome, Wildcat44.

Are there any decent recordings of Orson's Mercury Theater-Campbell Playhouse out there that some could share? There only one I found was a better than average version of War of the Worlds (Youtube)

After years of trying to get my sister interested in OTR, she finally asked me to send some Mercury Theater to her. If I sent the versions I have, she'd never listen to another show.

Here's Dracula from 7/11/1938 to start. I can post more if this sounds okay to you.

Mercury Theater 1938-07-11

Looking for Art Linkletter's House Party, especially from the 50's and '60s. I may be off on the date, but there should be one in circulation from July 1952 which I can't seem to find.

Thank you for any help.

Thanks, Rodney. It's an improvement over what I've found thusfar

This Walk Softly Peter Troy #15 The Karate Kid has bad sound, but I think maybe it could be improved. I think this encode is less common. I have another copy with a bad echo and also bad sound. Can anyone try to remove the tape hiss from this and re-post? Or does anyone have a nice sounding copy? The most common copy circulating is the echoing version which is 32 K, 21:50 in length and about 5,124 K in size. Please don't post that one.

Does anyone have to share this Jeff Regan?

50-04-19 The Smell of Magnolias

Sorry, Andrew, I've got the episode from the week before, but not that one.

I'm working on a massive overhaul of Academy Award Theater. These are the only shows I have not been able to upgrade -- does anyone have these in really nice sound?

Academy Award 46-04-20 (04) The Great McGinty.mp3
Academy Award 46-05-25 (09) The Informer.mp3
Academy Award 46-06-22 (13) The Front Page.mp3
Academy Award 46-06-29 (14) A Star Is Born.mp3
Academy Award 46-08-28 (23) One Sunday Afternoon.mp3
Academy Award 46-11-27 (36) Lost Horizon.mp3

Mine sound ok, but are definitely a notch below the other episodes in the series.  I can post one if you like.  I checked them all, and they're all about the same. One would probably be representative. I wouldn't say they're very nice, but are certainly listenable.
