Old Audio Recordings Echos From The Past Twisting The Dials AM Radio

[@624radicalham]

Would love to hear this on a new video without the hum in the background. Would be marvelous to hear this cleaned up. It's been a decade, hope you are fine and hope you manage to do this! It was a proper time machine especially listening to the weaker stations, weather, etc. Just wow

[@tb40ford]

I love this stuff so much. Man I appreciate your videos from the past. Travis in Ky

[@amberola1b560]

It's noticed that we were much more godly back then. People had a better appreciation for the world that was provided by their deity friends.

[@Musicradio77Network]

Wow! I've never heard of these, but that was way before my time that there were no music formats at all, just a series of radio programs like "Red Skelton", "Martin & Lewis" and so on. I used to changed the stations since I was a kid, but I did recorded stuff off the radio while changing the tuning. As for the rest of the tape at the end, there was no TV back then, you have to go see a play while recording the performance on stage. This was before no recordings were allowed in there.

22:11 I have the full thing somewhere and that DALLAS you could hardly hear the NBC chimes

[@amberola1b]

and the funny thing about the recording at the end, is that I must have gotten another spool of wire from the same Ebay seller at another time because I recognized his Ebay user name when I bought the later batch of wire spools, because on one of the spools I bought the second time around, I found about in the middle, the first act of the exact same musical with the exact same actors. The 1st. part is`nt complete, but I got about another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of the play. It`s just unfortunate

[@amberola1b]

that someone just HAD to erase the beginning of the performance and left intact what he had till the end of the wire. I have another set of two spools that I bought from another seller of a COMPLETE performance recorded the same way (of someone bringing a wire recorder into the theatre) of a musical called High Button Shoes recorded in 1949. And featured in the musical was a very young Audrey Meadows as one of the lead characters. And I know this because the original owner of the spools

Rio Rita was presented during 1927 and 1930, so it probably places this recording in this time period.

[@amberola1b]

This recording itself wasn't from the 1930 period because these wire recorders weren't around then. This recording probably dates to about the late 40's when wire recorders were introduced and becoming popular

[@squidfartz]

Goodness, just found this. Nice post.

[@amberola1b]

kept records in each wire canister on a piece of paper what the show was, and who starred in it etc. I even bought an original copy of the program from the show, so I could get some info on the play, and on the stats about Audrey Meadows, it said among other things, that she was born in China and came to the states not knowing any english. Just interesting stuff. The quality on THAT show is`nt nearly as good as the Rio Rita recording, but I may post it some day anyway

[@carlospicchio]

YOU HAVE RECORDS OF THE RADIO nbc AT THE END OF 1933, BEGINNING OF 1934? thanks

[@DanielJemiolo]

Where do you find these recordings? Thanks to you I got interested in this stuff and want some in my collection and for possible use of part in audio projects.

[@slicric8532]

Any idea what year this was? I love listening in on the old commercials.

[@glennmillerfan]

Early 1953 based on the recordings on it.

[@liamcragin]

Do you have a year for this?

[@amberola1b]

Liam Smith no I'm sorry, i wish i did Some of the recordings it's easy to identify a year for them depending on if they were being broadcast off the radio and if there were certain commercials that were left in but this one I couldn't tell what year it was.

[@glennmillerfan]

Liam Smith At 31:00, there is a segment of President Eisenhower’s Chance for Peace address, which was given on April 16, 1953, so the recording was likely made on or around that date.

[@glennmillerfan]

@@amberola1b The speech at 31:00 is actually President Dwight Eisenhower’s first Inaugural Address, not his “Atoms For Peace Speech.” That means this recording was made on or around January 20, 1953.

[@alexmckenna1171]

I guess it was recorded on a very boring and depressing Sunday. Times change, thankfully...
