Book Reviews of Jean Shepherd: The X Random Factor

Book Review: Excelsior, You Fathead!
Summary: 5 Stars

Fabulous to have these Jean Shepherd segments (and those in the SIX other box sets from Radio Again) preserved for posterity. This is Shepherd at his inimitable best, warts and all. Audio quality is uniformly superb---one almost wishes for a little AM radio static and signal fade so we could hear these shows the way we first heard them in the early 1960s. Point of order, however. These programs are definitely not UNABRIDGED. Theme music has been trimmed here and there, especially at the openings of shows, and the commercials are gone altogether, even though there's plenty of space on each CD to include them. Minor quibbles aside, I say, "Shepherd shows on CD, it's about time!" Flick Lives, indeed!

Summary of Jean Shepherd: The X Random Factor

Radio Again is pleased to present 8 classic radio performances by raconteur Jean Shepherd from the archives of Hartwest Productions.

The X Random Factor contains all the classic elements of Jean Shepherd's brilliant radio work, combining humor, story telling, kazoo playing, and general musings on everyday life and the nature of man; from being yanked into the world, the quicksand myth, to being left behind by the world around you.

So listen and enjoy The X Random Factor. Learn why there's a turtle on the cover, and remember there are 9 to 5 odds against anything in life. Keep your knees loose!

The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960's by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd's WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music.

Includes liner notes with excerpts from EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! The Art and Enigma of JEAN SHEPHERD By Eugene B. Bergmann.

8 Audio CDs - Digitally Remastered and Restored. Each program is approximately 44 minutes. Total running time approximately 6 hours.
