More Digitizations From The TRSE "Classic" Era
This evening, converted a few more episodes from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives from late in "season two" of the "flagship" show. As you may notice from the episode numbers, I'm skipping around a bit. This is mainly due to convenience, as to what elements from the various episodes I've currently digitized. I'll go back and get the ones I "missed" later, except maybe episode 164, that "compilation" episode is currently still amiss...

"The Tape and Record Show" was probably the ONLY place, where if it was an actually broadcast real radio show, you would have heard the audio from an episode of "Petticoat Junction" and the British "Wodehouse Playhouse" in the same hour. At the time, I had run out of "Bickersons" radio versions of the skits, but by then, had a reissue of two LPs originally released in the early 1960's, where Don Ameche and Frances Langford re-created some of the skits for Columbia Records... in stereo, with an audience. Those were used for the "Tape and Record Show" episodes.
The show went "upscale" for episodes 167 and 171, by including abridged versions of Shakespeare, from LP records borrowed from the local library. The original tapes I recorded the LPs from were in terrible shape and sounded really bad, but I found an "alternate" copy of the same LPs online.
Had to dig into my 45rpm collection for The Statler Brothers song in episode 176.
