I already have this set and have scanned thru it all and assure you the 
ad time is minimal but quite enjoyable.  When they are promoting their 
records they do perform some sample from it and that might be what you 
are considering commercial content.  The program that is a tribute to 
television is magnificent, as is the Mikado Rehearsal.  I can tell you 
that when I was a kid KFO sold me on getting the Alice In Wonderland set 
on 45s -- my first 45s in fact.   Still have the set but I still prefer 
Ginger Rogers on Decca.
