Summary: Don't buy this!!
Review: I ordered this because the CD collection that I REALLY wanted: 60 greatest radio shows of all time as selected by Walter Cronkite-- wasn't available... However, I was really disappointed with the selection when I rcvd it, and am promptly returning it without even opening it!!! It contains (FYI) 2 Amos n Andy shows, 2 Jack Benny, 2 Burns and Allen, 2 Dragnet, 2 Lone Ranger, 2 Escape, 2 "Suspense"?, 2 Fibber Mcgee and Molly, 2 X Minus One, and 2 Gunsmoke... Just not what I was looking for...!!!
