Grand Ol' Opry Armed Forces Radio Transcriptions
Original Aluminum Platter / Shellac > DAT > CDR > EAC > WAV > TRACKING > FLAC
OU: A friend who's Father works for WSM suprised me with a rare batch of Transcripts
of radio shows recorded and pressed to Disc and sent abroad to Armed Forces radio for rebroadcast to the soldiers at war.
These were drawn from the original aluminum stampers and shellac discs. The quality is not by any means stellar. The raveges of time are obvious in certain places. What you do get are rare performances of the hits of the day by artists of the day. All are from center stage of the Rhyman Auditorium, The Grand Ol' Opry.... live from Music City, Nashville Tennessee.
I have been researching these all day and find no indication that they ever were released comercially at any time.
My guess would be that these recordings by virtue of song release date are all circa the Viet Nam era. That's about as close as it can be guessed, other than it was a Saturday night....
Here we go, step back in time to being a lonely soldier on foreign soil serving his country, and tuning in the radio to hear a little bit of home.
...pure hillbilly heaven....

Thanks Dave. This is truly a treasure. Any others would be appreciated whenever you can work them in.
truly eclectic taste.
Wow! From Wolfmother to this on the same site... this is the best boots site on the web. And the fact that it's all FLAC/SHN is just incredible.
The playlist is slightly incomplete: missing is Disc 14, Track 16 "Willis Brothers - Turn It Around" and Disc 15, Track 17, which is basically an outro with an announcer talking over an instrumental rag number.
Fascinating stuff. I'd love to find out more of the details.
Excellent. Thank you Dave.
