Subject: A 'n A questions
Hello Everyone,
Here are a few semi-techy questions I had recently. Maybe someone here
can answer. Elizabeth in particular, of course.
The original AnA transcriptions from the 1920s were 78 rpm shellac
records, not so different from anything one might have bought off the
shelf in the day.
Do any metal parts survive somewhere? Were any of these transcriptions
ever repressed later on vinyl? And if so, for what reason?
Do any metal parts for the Victor recordings survive? Have reissues been
produced from these metal parts?
TIA,
Joe Salerno

debuted on CBS. The program kept millions of loyal listeners in suspense
for the next 20 years (and three months).

1939 CBS aired The Adventures of Ellery Queen for the first time. An
interesting twist came near the end of the program when the show was
stopped to allow a panel of experts to guess the solution of the night's
mystery.
1961 Gunsmoke was broadcast for the last time on CBS. The show had
been on for nine years. It was called the first adult Western. The star
of Gunsmoke was William Conrad.

1934 The [removed] Congress established the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). The task of the commission was to regulate radio
broadcasting.
