As some of you know, I am the online librarian of the Radio
Enthusiasts of Puget Sound. I am probably the only person in
the OTR community who is still doing distros that are theme-based
and belong together as a set. So far this year I have
released several, including two from The Todd Collection, which
REPS acquired late last year. Three more are scheduled for
release at present, one next week, another in May and another in
early June. These are the best reason I can think of for you
to join the group.
These releases have generated the most enthusiasm among
current members who are on the distribution list. If you join
now, you will receive the following and more: (1) "The Todd
Collection: First Episodes;" (2) "The Todd Collection, 1947: A Week
of Prime Time Radio;" (3) All 12 surviving episodes of The Bill
Kemp Show, a series circa 1958 which is so rare that it is not
in the OTRR Library, not in John Dunning's On the Air, not
in David Goldin's RadioGoldIndex, and not in Vintage Radio
Logs. You will be one of the few people in the world to
possess this set, and the program is very good; (4) A set of what
are, in my opinion, the best episodes that have been acquired by
the library so far this year. I have arranged these so that
they cover one week, with the days and time slots on which they
were originally aired; (5) "The Todd Collection: The Early Years
(1937-1945)" arranged so as to represent a week of programs on the
days and in the time slots in which they were originally
aired. You will also receive everything else I send out
between now and the date one year from now when your membership
will come up for renewal.
