JEAN SHEPHERD SET THRE
MORE SYNDICATED HALF-HOUR SHOWS FROM 1976 - 197
Dolby B
3 shows on each 90 minute tape - 39 shows
Special price for this set (#26 - 34, 9 tapes) $45 pp.

The following 9 cassettes are made up of half-hour shows, from late in the syndicated run (probably late Spring 1977).  These FM airchecks from WBUR Boston are in generally excellent sound, except for the following minor defects: many of the shows had a slight high-pitched whistle, and a few of the shows slowed down as they went along.  I have eliminated most of the whistle and adjusted the speed as well as possible, although a few got so slow that the last minute or two still sound a bit slower than they should.  These are marked *.  Two shows, marked @, had bad tracking for the first several minutes.  These are minor problems, but overall these are among  the best sounding shows around.

EARLY SYNDICATED SHOWS

The following were recorded from FM in Boston.  Like the later syndicated shows, these are complete recordings of the WOR program with the commercials removed. Dates are approximate. They run from about 35 to 40 minutes each, with 2 shows per 90 minute cassette. The hour-long shows were originally from Saturday broadcasts.  Sound quality is generally good with occasional station drift or bad tuning.

For my own sanity, I have reconfigured these sets into (nearly) consecutive order.  If you already have either of the original sets you can get the tapes you are missing at the old rates.  Write for details.

One final note on these: my MH series does not follow the original numeration completely, so there are occasional gaps in the numbering and dates out of sequence.  

I have broken up the tapes into two groups of twelve, each set containing ten 90 minute tapes, and two full-hour shows. The cost of either set is $55, or all get MH tapes for only $100.

AND NOW FOR A FEW SELECTIONS FROM ANOTHER WOR FAVORITE - LONG JOHN NEBEL!

The following LONG JOHN NEBEL shows come from two six-hour reels.  Sound quality is listenable, considering that these are AM airchecks recorded in 1958, when radio technology (especially on phone calls) was much inferior to what we are used to today.  It’s remarkable that these exist at all, so I doubt better copies of this stuff are likely to be found.  The tapes can be ordered individually, but due to the length of the Long John shows the tapes run together, so they are best enjoyed in sets. LJ01‑LJ04 comprise reel one, LJ05‑LJ08 are reel two. These are WOR-AM airchecks, somewhat rough and noisy, most commercials cut. Need I point out that these are also RARE!?  All tapes are recorded in Dolby B.  Bonus Long John UFO LPs tape free with either set! Either set (LJ01‑LJ04 or LJ05‑LJ08) $25 with bonus tape, or $45 for all nine Long John tapes.

SET ONE  - LONG JOHN NEBEL ‑ UFO SHOWS 

#LJ01  (90)  3/09/58
Guests: Major Donald Keyhoe, Kenneth Arnold, others
The first hour is mostly about Richard Shaver and the Dero (you know, that race living inside the earth's crust!)

#LJ02  (90)   3/09/58 - Conclusion,
More Dero, and talk of O.T. Carr's brochure that offers to build a working UFO for only $20 million!                                            
Also: from 3/08/58 Mike Wallace interviews Major Donald  Keyhoe.  Plus start of another Nebel show. See #LJ03 for details.

#LJ03 (90)
More of show from #LJ02, from around 3/10/58, with Irving Tunik, TV producer of Armstrong Circle Theater, on why UFO remarks were cut off during a live show!  Other guests on this program include Kenneth Arnold  (by phone), Dom Luchesi, Gray Barker, Ivan T. Sanderson, Augie Roberts,  Major Keyhoe, Cortland Hastings, Charles  Leedham,  J. St. Germaine.

LJ04 (90) 
Conclusion of show from around 3/10/58 on tape #LJ03. Sound quality on LJ03 & LJ04 is listenable, but VERY rough, a shame because these  are highlights from past UFO  interviews, presented while Nebel was away.

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!  All 13 Tapes for $60 pp.

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!

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.
