Bet you want to hear a sample, ya? Steno-Disc No.506 is a good ‘un. On Track 4 a guy quits his job at the Globe Sales Co. and gets hired by a competitor. He doesn’t bother to give his name to his boss, Mr. Carl Fox, but I assume Carl figured it out when the guy didn’t show up for work on Monday.
There’s a three-car pile up on Track 10. Some guy who just quit his job went on a bender and ended up in court.
Some reasonably priced copies of several editions are available at Discogs.
The woman on the covers of the series? Carol Burnett.
