The sound quality and content of these episodes are impeccable! If you ignore the constant pitches for Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco and Cavalier Cigarettes, and you can put up with the corny comedy segments (yes, folks used to laugh at this stuff), you'll enjoy these shows. This is what the Grand Ole Opry sounded like. when today's older Opry Stars were in their prime. You'll be surprised by what you hear. If you like these shows, be sure to check out dnt1961's other page https://archive.org/details/GrandOleOpryOtr featuring an additional 100 episodes from October of 1939 thru November of 1956!
