Description




























As early as 1964, AFRTS began packaging an audio-only version of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson for military personnel to listen to overseas.  These Tonight Show episodes that were edited and re-packaged for radio broadcast found their way to the Library of Congress in the form of sound discs, not video.  As most of the 1960’s Tonight Shows are considered “lost,” it is ironic and exciting that sound recordings at the Library of Congress may contain some of the only surviving Tonight Show elements, (albeit in an edited for AFRTS, audio-only version).

AFRTS 

TONIGHT (The Tonight Show) w/ Johnny Carson Ed McMann Skitch Henderson & Orchestra  These Tonight Show episodes that were edited and re-packaged for AFRTS radio broadcast  2 12" Lps 25 minutes per side disk #'s166/167/168/169


VINYL:  VG I revised this listing from VG+ to VG. The first time I listened to these I  frankly enjoyed them to much to remember the relatively light surface sound/sizzle' I decided to double check them after I graded the other AFRTS Tonight shows (I'm now listing) & all of those played VG. So I gave these another listen & these also play VG. There is also a repeating at the end of  #168  & #169 but it is after the show is over & during the music that closes all the Tonite acetates (I've listed from '64/'65) is being played I assume for the DJ to use to fade out.

SLEEVES: VG+
