Don't expect to hear much "complete" content in the above "TRS Scrap Pile" episodes. Lots of news alert interruptions from the 1938 Orson Welles "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast, to replicate the effect the original broadcast had. Quite obvious, when it applies to the TRSE version however, that we weren't ACTUALLY being invaded by Mars (much like these shows never ACTUALLY being "broadcast"), mainly because, the original CBS broadcast of the "Mercury Theater" in 1938 was an uninterrupted continuous hour, and our version is split up into three half hours.
In the "Orbit's Independent Sampler" episode transferred this evening, Dennis Goodwin makes the grim announcement that his record shop "Orbit Records" is closing soon. Dates may vary, since the TRSE versions of the broadcasts were edited from the weekly three hour actual KNLU broadcasts, there was a significant delay between the TRSE "pilot" of the show and the actual premiere, our version was half hours, and my memory is hazy after all these years, the original incarnation of the shop may have closed far earlier than this TRSE "broadcast" version. The shop was "revived" for a while a few years later however.
