The Singles And Doubles Collection vol 2 Single Episodes


(4.2 stars; 12 reviews)

This is the second volume of the Singles and Doubles Collection, a unique compilation of Old Time Radio series that have only one or two episodes known to exist. This collection spans various genres, showcasing the rich history of radio, which has entertained audiences since the 1920s.

From comedy to drama, cooking shows to music, each episode offers a glimpse into the past, when families gathered around the radio to share stories and experiences. While some series have only a single episode preserved, the goal of this collection is to ensure that these rare broadcasts are not forgotten.

As new broadcasts surface, future versions of this collection may be released. We invite you to explore these informative and entertaining programs, each providing a unique listening experience.


This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Reviews

Item named "Clan of the Fiery Cross..." Huh?


(3 stars)

The filename in the directory is an error. The MP3 file once you download the single item is a variety show, "Walgreens_45th_Anniversary_46-06-18.mp3" -- an hour-long episode of "RADIO'S BIGGEST SHOW" Syndicated by Walgreen Drug Stores with standup-host Bob Hope. Harry Von Zell (announcer). The Andrews Sisters open with "Atlanta Ga." Dennis Day sings "All through the day..." Others: Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Eddy Duchin, Frank Morgan, Ginny Simms, Ray Noble and His Orchestra play an instrumentals called "China Boy"; Simms sings "Body & Soul"; pianist Duchin plays "Night & Day"

MAJOR buried treasure alert!


(5 stars)

The Lannie Ross Program has as a guest, one of Lanny's old Army buddies...who just happens to be Don Knotts. Yes, *that* Don Knotts. It's very likely his first ever network radio appearance, and he can be heard doing an all-too-brief comedy routine about a tongue-tied football announcer...pretty typical for what Don did in those days, up through his Steve Allen time. And he sounds so young! (He would've been in his 20s.) Thank you for uploading these.

(4 stars)

Isn't Clan of the Fiery Cross an episode of Superman? I didn't listen to that track, but unless there is something else by that name floating around, it doesn't belong in a singles and doubles collection. Great scoop on most of these, though.

OFRH episodes


There are at least 63 Old Fashioned Revival Hour episodes floating around... *** I caught a duplicate file in the collection bringing the total down to 63...

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due


(5 stars)

Give some credit for the effort to bring you episodes you will never find anywhere else. We're sorry for the dupes, but think of the other new and unusual episodes here.

Cannot download this version, either!


Well, I just did my second download of the "singles version" here. Just like my two attempts to download the "non-singles version," I could not extract the files after the download. Too bad. I did enjoy the "Singles and Doubles Volume 1 shows." Those were in smaller, CD-size zip files. I guess I cannot get these "DVD-size" zip files. Thanks for the effort to compile these. I will download some of the individual shows, but it's not worth the effort to try to get them all.
