Jack Benny's "Golden Memories Of Radio" - Longines 6 record boxed set

There was a time, not so very long ago, that the world's entertainment revolved around a box without pictures and someone telling you what you should envision! That box was called the radio and it empowered each listener to call upon their imagination to "see" the story and "see" the characters in their own mind's eye. The radio could take you across the world, back in time, out into the universe and even into the future. Here's a collection of sample recordings from those bygone days to experience what you missed, or, for the older generation, to recapture their youth. 

What's more, we've found these records in gently played, near-mint condition so you know the sound will be unimpeded. The box case does show moderate wear around the corners and edges but is more clean than not. You can see the offerings on the box tab or review them as follows:
