All the boxes had little typed labels on the spine for each show - such classics as "What Year Is It? (was this a title or a query? - I still don't know!) or "Say It For all of Us Shep!") At the time when I first put them on cassette I was overwhelmed and never got to listen to a lot of the shows, like most of the Limelights. Your title is probably as good as any. It would be good to have some consistency as they proliferate around the web however. Maybe we should take a cue from the Vic & Sade people - a "First Line" index - where the first spoken words are used to tell one "Radar" show from another. It would also help identify reruns, of which I suspect there are many more than we imagine.

NEED A COPY OF THIS RECORDING Source description: The Jean Shepherd Show. November 13, 1965. WOR, New York. Sustaining. 10:30 P. M. The broadcast originates from The Limelight, New York City. The recording includes the 11:00 P. M. WOR news. Victor Vicks (?) interviews a survivor from the sunken "Yarmouth Castle." Saving stamps and cigarette coupons. Marty Warren (owner of "The Limelight") sings, "I'll Come If You Call Me." The song is interrupted for a report by Lester Smith in the Bahamas, about the Yarmouth Castle sinking. The telephone circuit is lost after half a minute. A plastic mother's knee, a strange salute to Ben Casey. The show ends with a great army story. Jean Shepherd, Marty Warren, Lester Smith, Victor Vicks (?). 1:30:55. Audio condition: Very good to excellent. Complete.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
