Crabapple Sound was established in 1996 offering old time radio shows on audio cassette and now these OTR shows are available on compact disc. The Old Time Radio On Cassette & CD catalog is based on a library collection that began in 1975. There are over 25,000 shows in the library and the catalog reflects only a small portion of the collection.
Each show is previewed before listed in the catalog to make sure they are in good sound. If there are any special shows that you are seeking to purchase not yet listed in the catalog, a search may be conducted in the library to see if these shows could be made available.
The CDs have not been digitally remastered. Sound quality will be the same as a cassette tape. Some of the OTR shows (90 minutes) are not available on CD and have been noted in the catalog listings.
