Book Reviews of Old-Time Radio's Greatest Mysteries
Book Review: 20 Tapes; 60 Programs; Includes 20 Different Mystery Series!
Summary: 5 Stars
This deluxe boxed set is the Audio Cassette edition of Radio Spirits' release of "Old-Time Radio's Greatest Mysteries". It's a well-packaged collection of OTR (Old-Time Radio) programs, and is a veritable gold mine of classic radio mystery shows.
Some of the many series that are included on these tapes are: "Quiet Please", "The Shadow", "Inner Sanctum Mysteries", "Lights Out", "Escape", "Murder At Midnight", and, in my opinion, the greatest of all OTR "mystery" shows -- "Suspense". Of the three "Suspense" episodes included in this package, one in particular rises to the top of my "Best Of" list. And that would be a 1950 "Suspense" broadcast entitled "On A Country Road" (which stars Cary Grant). It's a beauty. Remember to turn ALL the lights off before cueing up that one in the cassette player.
This set includes ...............
>> 20 Audio Cassette Tapes (90 minutes each). Each tape includes three episodes from one specific OTR series.
>> 60 total radio programs (all uncut with excellent audio quality).
>> 30 total hours of OTR programming.
>> Plastic-case packaging. It's a "book" type of package, with each tape fitting firmly in its own recessed section of the case.
>> Handy fact-filled booklet, packed with information on all programs in this collection. This nice little booklet is 64 pages in length, and also includes many, many top-quality black-and-white photographs.
>> User-friendly and very easy-to-reference list of programs and episodes conveniently shown on the back side of the plastic case (complete with full episode titles and original air dates). This type of useful "on the box" list of shows means you don't have to search through the lengthy booklet in order to quickly find a particular show you might want to locate.
Here's a complete roster of the 20 different radio series that are represented within this nice-looking boxed set...........
