Programs are circa 1960's. The shows are approximately 12 minutes each which would extend to 15 minutes each with local advertising announcements.
Discs are in very good or better condition with excellent- sound. Discs have typical wear for discs that were used by radio stations for broadcast such as surface scratches and label, sleeve wear. There is some label damage that is visible in the photos. On some of the discs it looks like another distributor's label was placed over the original labels, and then removed.
The sound on these discs is much better than their very good condition. Discs play with no skips and are in Excellent- sound. I will make CD dubs of all discs for the buyer only
