JN146 - Nelson Eddy : Old Gold Radio series, Volume 3

We are offering the complete Old Gold Radio Show series starring Nelson Eddy, a half-hour show broadcast on Wednesdays from April 1942 through January 1943. His co-star (though not in every episode) was soprano Nadine Conner. Nelson received $3500 salary/week for this show - he originally requested it be paid to him in cigarettes so he could donate it to the WWII soldiers! (By today's dollars, that's like $50,000 a week salary for a half-hour show!) Note: each show contains Nelson's songs and duets with Nadine Conner, but not any discussion between numbers. The Old Gold series is complete in 8 volumes, JN 144 through JN 151. A special package price is available for the series at this link.
