Mystery House - Single Episodes
Old Time Radio Researchers Group
MYSTERY HOUSE
Mystery House -- that strange publishing firm owned by Dan and Barbara Glenn -- where each new novel is acted out by the Mystery House staff, before it is accepted for publication. Mystery House was a program in the 1950s, but not your "run of the mill"-type program. Actually, it was more of a proving ground for novels. Dan and Barbara Glenn owned a publishing company named "Mystery House" located at 70 Park Avenue, New York City. Dan and Barbara decided to test some of their novels on a real listening audience. Each episode was taken from a novel they were planning on publishing. The entire staff at Mystery House was involved, everyone doing their part, whether it was rewriting to adapt it to radio, playing the parts, or doing sound effects -- everyone joined in. Sadly, not a lot is known about this series. Only fifteen episodes are known to exist. From the Old Time Radio Researcher's Group. See "Note" Section below for more information on the OTRR.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Good Shows But Very Muddy Sounding. Fix Up?
Charlie Heinz
These are good shows, from what I can make out. The sound is very muddy. I tried many equalizer settings that didn't help much. Is there an audio mixing engineer here that can process these shows? Probably would have to use some phase shifting to bring them back to intelligibility.
Restored versions of Mystery House
miriamhopkins
Radio Archives out of Spokane, Washington has completely restored each of the existing radio shows from Mystery House back to a crystal quality that probably is better than when they initially were aired depending on the strength of the radio station. They are available for sale in one complete volume from Radio Archives which is the only group I know of that has even attempted to restore this particular radio show. If you like this series, you will definitely enjoy the restoration efforts and are only available through Radio Archives which is listed on the Internet.

These stories are very well written and acted out wonderfully. My only criticism is the excessive playing of the pipe organ.
Thirty-two episodes here

The description of this series laments that only 15 episodes were collected. someone found more?! thanks, energetic production worth saving.

great idea!
Duncan
as they say when it opens these are all plays done by staff at mystery house publishing before they accept a manuscript. but there are more than the 15 it says in the description. despite some sound problems these are great stories. all acted by the publishing company. good fun listening if you like the old otr recordings
