THE JEAN SHEPHERD 1960 COLLECTION - Set 1
THE EARLIEST SHEPHERD SHOWS YET TO BE FOUND - A DOZEN SHOWS FROM 1960!!!

Recorded From WOR-FM in Glorious High Fidelity!!! They Sound Like They Were Recorded Yesterday!

Fascinating show excerpts mostly from a Saturday afternoon (12:15 to 2 PM) 2-hour series Due to the recording format (1800' reels that hold somewhat more than 90 minutes per track), very few of these tapes contain complete programs, but only as much as would fit on the tape. I have transferred the tapes directly as I got them, complete with all the news of the day, read by great radio announcer Dwight Weist, in order to preserve the historic context. All tape starts, stops, and edits are as laid down by the original home taper, Howie Mann, who graciously gave me the reels. Some of the shows are listed out of sequence. This is due to my desire to fully preserve these recordings intact. Where possible I have made each tape self-contained, but the last few tapes run together, so take note of the tape contents in order to get complete shows. Or just get the whole set!

SERIES 100 (Groups A to D): 1974 - 1975

The following tapes are the first from a nearly complete run of the last few years of original WOR broadcasts. They represent the first 11+ reels from a set of 70 reels. More will follow in the coming months and years. Sound quality ranges from only adequate on a few to pretty darn good. These are complete shows with commercials.

Regular $6 per-tape prices apply, or Take Any Twelve for Only $55! That's right - make your own damn sets from the 100 series. This offer likely to be withdrawn at any time, so act before the end of the millennium. Or you may select the groupings as offered.
