Abbott & Costello Show MP3 Collection
A collection of all The Abbott and Costello Radio Shows that exist (101 in total), in MP3 format on CD-R. Plus extras including a selection of their most famous routines and a 1942 edition of Command Performance USA - nearly 50 hours of Abbott and Costello on 1 disc.
Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and TV made them one of the most popular teams in the history of comedy. Every week 20 million listeners tuned in to catch their verbal antics in their 1940's NBC radio shows - their "Who's on First?" routine, developed during their years in burlesque, is widely considered to be one of the greatest comedy sketches of all time.
This a chance to own what remains of their radio shows from 1940 - 1949, on a handy CD which will play in any CD-MP3 player (or DVD players which support this format). Alternatively you can play on your PC CD/DVD drive or transfer the tracks to your MP3 player and peruse at your leisure.
