Book Reviews of The Jack Benny Program Volume Two
Book Review: 18 Installments Of "The Jack Benny Program" On 6 Cassette Tapes!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Radio Spirits, Inc." has released several different volumes (on both Cassette and Compact Disc audio formats) that are chock-full of Jack Benny's unique style and humor.
This is Volume #2 in a Radio Spirits' series of Audio Cassette compilations of "The Jack Benny Program", which was one of radio's longest-running weekly series, running from 1932 through 1955.
This 6-Tape set features 18 full-length Benny radio shows, complete with original commercial advertisements (many of them integrated right into the shows themselves). Audio quality is very good for all programs.
There are three Jack Benny programs per 90-minute cassette. All of the shows found in this collection originally aired between 1944 and 1949. Jack's guest stars here include: Jimmy Stewart, Red Skelton, Eddie Cantor, Bing Crosby, Jane Wyman, Van Johnson, Ronald Colman, Edward G. Robinson, among others.
This whole series of Audio Tape packages put out by Radio Spirits is very nicely designed, IMO. The easy-to-carry, plastic-coated packaging that houses the six audio cassettes is very attractive, with inventive high-quality artwork. Plus, the easily-stored, "book-like" package is quite compact as well, measuring 5" x 9" (and just 1" thick).
"The Jack Benny Program" has stood the test of time (a lot of time, in fact). These shows are just as funny and fun to listen to today as they were when they originally crackled over the radio airwaves way back when. And you get nine full hours of Mr. Benny's antics right here in this excellent 18-episode collection from Radio Spirits.
