Late Season Two LP Record Broadcasts
This evening, digitized and compiled four more episodes of the "fake radio show" series "The Tape and Record Show", from the Tape and Record Show Enterprises archives, originally "broadcast" late in season two. Guessing I was relying on my LP record collection for "new" content at the time because of lack of budget for new blank cassettes. This is what was completed tonight, in order of completion...

A deadly black army from which there is no escape."
The old time radio shows are from Radiola Records LP releases. After buying a couple albums from the local "Musicland" location in the late 1970's, I started ordering more from the Radiola catalogue directly from the company. The releases were decently priced at the time, around $4.95 each. Guessing they were so cheap because the content on the records was "public domain", so the company had no royalties to pay out.
The Justin Wilson recordings were from a couple original LPs my parents purchased in the 1960's, on the "Project Records" label. Part One(Side 1) of "Wilsonville, U.S. and A." was "broadcast" on "The Tape and Record Show" on Tuesday, July 29,1980. The "Wondermus Humor" LP was recorded live at "The Village" in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Episode 185 was a one hour weekend episode.
Still "skipping around" with these later season two episodes. That time period was a "hot mess" content wise, so I'm converting in order of convenience. There will be a few episodes soon where original audio cassettes are missing, and I have no "alternate source". Those will be noted in future descriptions.
