    The series

    Where the recordings come from

    The Lux Radio Theatre recordings here come from the Old Time Radio Researchers' Lux Radio Theatre Season 03 Singles set (48 episodes), hosted by the Internet Archive. Our thanks to the Old Time Radio Researchers, the volunteers who found, dated and assembled the set, and to the Archive and the collectors whose uploads it rests on. Also from the Old Time Radio Researchers' Lux Radio Theatre Season 19 Singles set (48), the Old Time Radio Researchers' Lux Radio Theatre Season 13 Singles set (47), the Old Time Radio Researchers' Lux Radio Theatre Season 08 Singles set (44). The sound is our remaster of those files (rumble, hiss and hum cleaned out, levelled to steady broadcast loudness); the recordings themselves are theirs. About our sources.
