This excellent box set - the result of a joint project by Radio Spirits and the Smithsonian - is an essential purchase for admirers of Jack Benny.Entitled "The Best Of Old Time Radio Starring Jack Benny",it covers the full range of Benny's radio days,including not only four of his own shows (dating from the period 1952-1957) but also two lesser known contributions to "radio's otstanding theatre of thrills",the "Suspense" program (the episodes featured are "A Good and Faithful Servant" and "Murder in G-Flat"),and one play for the Lux Radio Theatre ("Seven Keys to Baldpate"),a radio version of "The Horn Blows at Midnight",and one edition each of "The Fred Allen Show" and "The Burns and Allen Show".The good quality CDs come with an informative booklet written by Anthony Tollin.This is really something to treasure.
