This is the complete series of Nelson Eddy on the "Kraft Music Hall." One album is pictured but you get all 16 albums that make up the 3 summer seasons that Nelson was host. In Season One (1947) , his co-star was Nadine Conner. Dorothy Kirsten was his co-star for seasons Two and Three (1948 and 1949). Jeanette MacDonald co-starred in one show of Season Two, replacing Kirsten who was ill. These are all the shows that are known to exist; a few from 1947 are missing altogether, and most of them from 1949 include just Nelson's songs and some comedy banter. Nelson's final show of 1949 was the end of the radio series, which had run since 1933 but finally fell victim to the popularity of television.
