[78-L] 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast in excllent sound

[David Lennick]

It was LIVE LIVE LIVE and not even redone 3 hours later for the west coast. 
Transcriptions existed only as reference recordings (line or air checks) or for 
syndication to non-network stations because the radio networks had agreed for 
years never to broadcast a record. The first exception was Herb Morrison's 
Hindenburg report and as Mike Biel has said, it was the only one up to this 
point. No such problems existed in Europe or at the Beeb or in Canada.
