I purchased a set of three of these Audio CD's for my Girlfriends Father for Christmas one year. He seemed to love them! He works as a Nationwide Claims Adjuster in my area and has tons of road time. He pop's a disk in, in the morning and has fun driving all day. 10/10 for this one!

(this is an identical review for all three products that I purchased!)

Fabulous to have these Jean Shepherd segments (and those in the SIX other box sets from Radio Again) preserved for posterity. This is Shepherd at his inimitable best, warts and all. Audio quality is uniformly superb---one almost wishes for a little AM radio static and signal fade so we could hear these shows the way we first heard them in the early 1960s. Point of order, however. These programs are definitely not UNABRIDGED. Theme music has been trimmed here and there, especially at the openings of shows, and the commercials are gone altogether, even though there's plenty of space on each CD to include them. Minor quibbles aside, I say, "Shepherd shows on CD, it's about time!" Flick Lives, indeed!

Great stuff for Shepherd fans, but not as good as the original radio broadcasts on WOR

howard stern these days has but one string in his bow of modern radio, shep had the world and then some, priceless. enjoy or give this as a gift that keeps on giving. there is no perfect place to start listening to jean shepherd its more a time in your own life when you can draw on his insights and wit which can give you a lift. rated a random x, cant say it enough FLICK LIVES
