These are rare, one of a kind discs recorded for Rudy Vallee by The Scully Recording Studio.   
These discs came directly from the estate of Rudy Vallee

 "The Fleischmann Yeast Hour" radio program of June 29, 1933.  This disc features 39 1/2 minutes of a approximately 60 minute radio program.  Program stars Rudy Vallee with guests Lillian Miles (actress), Max Baer (boxer), George Lovejoy Rockwell (vaudeville comedian), James Kirkwood (actor), Ward Wilson (actor), The Connecticut Yankees

Songs include "Are You Making Any Money" vocal Lillian Miles (Rudy Vallee's introduction of Lillian Miles mentions that she will be singing this song in her upcoming movie for Universal Pictures - this is an excellent performance by Lillian Miles!), "Morning Noon And Night" vocal Rudy Vallee, "The Shadow Waltz" vocal Rudy Vallee (dedicated to Dick Powel who was in the hospital at the time), "To Be Or Not To Be In Love" vocal Rudy Vallee, "Happy Boy, Happy Girl", "Mississippi Basin" vocal Rudy Vallee

Boxer Max Baer appears in a spot where he reviews the upcoming fight between Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera at Madison Square Garden Bowl in Queens.  Max Baer mentions that he is looking forward to challenging the winner of the fight.   (btw, Jack Sharkey would lose the World Boxing Association title to Primo Carnera, and Max Baer would defeat Carnera in 1934 to win the title)

Vaudeville comedian George Lovejoy Rockwell performs a comedy routine as "Dr. Rockwell"

James Kirkwood & Ward Wilson appear in the one act play "A Common Man"

These discs feature a rare radio appearance of actress Lillian Miles - I could not find any reference to any other surviving radio appearance of Lillian Miles - or any reference to any surviving copy of this radio program.  Most likely one of a kind discs, and the only surviving copy

I'm not exactly sure of the composition of this discs, my best description is a thick, softer vinyl.   Discs are in good to very good condition.  The sound is good to very good - better sounding than uncoated aluminum used during this period.   There are lots of clicks and pops, but no skips.  The sound is at it's worst during the least interesting parts of the program, including the "A Common Man" sketch and George Rockwell's comedy spot.  The music portions are quite enjoyable
