Time-Life has just issued a 3-CD set which contains 2 recordings from 1938, 4 from 1940,
remastered Health & Happiness program, and a late PSA.

Has anyone heard these recordings?  Comments?

A lot of marketing hoopla about "rare and unreleased" - seems misleading as there are really
only 6 cuts that are significant.  The PSA may be unreleased, haven't checked if it is on
other HW sets, but offers nothing particularly unique.

It seems like an imposition to have to buy the H&H programs again to get these 6 rare early, and probably
not terribly enlightening (???) cuts.

Is the remastering of the H&H programs significantly better than previous issues?

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.
