"Lost" Russell and More Soap

This evening, I digitized the next two episodes of the Tape and Record Show Enterprises fake radio series "TRS Presents: Soap" and a previously missing "Mark Russell Comedy Special" from the original "broadcast" audio cassettes...

"The Tape & Record Show: Episode 329. Broadcast Tuesday, January 19,1982 at 5:00pm central. Theme Music: New Asteroid Field(John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra). "Mark Russell Comedy Special" - The political comedian talks about nuclear warning shots, voodoo economics, and ketchup.

TRS Presents: Soap, Episode 49: Broadcast Monday, October 13,1986 at 9:00pm central. Theme Music: Swing Swing Swing(John Williams). Musical Intermission: "What Am I Doin' Hangin' 'Round?" (The Monkees) / In this week's episode: Fake Burt ravages both the Tate and Campbell women, the Major, Chester, Benson, and Donahue attempt to rescue Billy from the Sunnies, Jodie attempts to gain custody of his daughter, and real Burt meets a 4000 year old man on the space ship.

TRS Presents: Soap, Episode 50: Broadcast Monday, February 16,1987 at 9:00pm central. Theme Music: Swing Swing Swing(John Williams). In this week's episode: Billy is rescued from the Sunnies, Alice tells Jodie she is moving out so he can retain custody of his daughter from Mrs. David, Mary suspects Burt isn't who he appears to be, and Sol attempts to beam himself and the real Burt back down to Earth."

While digging through the old cassettes trying to find episodes which were documented on the old handwritten "broadcast detail" index cards, I finally located a "missing" Mark Russell Comedy Special originally "aired" on "The Tape and Record Show" during its third season, which I hadn't found at the time I was working on digitizing season three. I had marked it as a "missing episode" when I originally typed up the episode description in Notepad. I've went back, since locating the source material, and modified the Notepad description. My tape labeling left a lot to be desired back in the "early days".
