Planet Man

Just to let you know the 2 discs arrived safely today, 9 March, and tracks transferred into my iTunes as good as gold . It just really surprises me that I can obtain from USA a little bit of UK radio history for such a great price so quickly! Your business and service has been superb.

Your OTR library continues to astound me. I started collecting in 1971, at a time when most of the good shows were available on LP records from Radiola. Plus the occasional series being re-run on local radio stations. And a few dealers who offered catalogs of (gasp!) three or four hundred programs, you could find their ads in the backs of what were then called fanzines that catered to the comic book collectors. I've still got a few of those magazines from the early 70's...... with comic prices that seemed astronomical at the time and would seem like a steal today. I also taped two entire reels of Lone Ranger from a local country western station before realizing that was 20 more than necessary. And of course Beeker Theatre from KEEY in Little Rock, a station that came in clearly late at night when they ran a very ecclectic schedule of shows. I used to think McCoys Recordings in Washington state was the last word in OTR volume, he offered something like 3 or 4 thousand reel-to-reel tapes by the time he quit the business. But where on earth did all these thousands of programs come from? Back in the 80's I would have thought it a religious experience just to see your WW II collection. Not to mention that absolutely staggering number of other shows. I just thought you would like to know that at least one older collector who remembers the early days of the hobby is very impressed. And thanks you for putting some of his favorite shows on an MP 3 disc. I appreciate it.
