LESLIE HOWARD on the air - Vintage Radio Shows OTR-CDs

Description

LESLIE HOWARD ON THE AIR…
Classic OTR! Handsome and talented British actor Leslie Howard is presented here in 8 of his best radio performances, on 6 CD’s. Howard, who died in 1943, can be hard to find radio shows on, so these are a real treat!
ABOUT MY CD’S:
*These are audio CD’s (not MP3’s) – listen to them on any CD player, stereo, walkman, DVD player, in your car, or on your computer – no inconvenience!
*All CD’s come with a beautiful, full-color label, housed in sleeves and will be very well packed for shipping.
*Only in rare circumstances will I put less than 1 hour on a CD…I try to provide as many shows as possible on the CD’s, this way you are not paying for extra CD’s instead of extra shows.
*I try to be very honest about the sound quality and try in most cases to explain if there are any sound problems with individual shows…so be sure and read the show descriptions. Every show has been listened to for this purpose. In many cases I will tweak the audio if I can, or edit together the best quality parts of multiple copies of the same show. I do eliminate shows in which I feel the sound is too poor to be enjoyable for listening. Only in very rare circumstances, when the show is extremely hard to find will I include shows with poor sound. Of course, these are vintage shows, so some imperfections should be expected.
*I try wherever possible to find the most unusual and hardest to find shows for each star and I update my sets regularly.
*In the case of stars who appeared in a high volume of shows, I will offer multiple sets to keep costs low, but variety of shows high.
I hope you will enjoy these classic shows as much as I do.
