Description
THE MARX BROS. "Three hours fifty nine minutes fifty one seconds" (3 hours 59 minutes 51 seconds) ORIGINAL RADIO BROADCASTS.
This is a 4-LP boxed set of Marx Brothers classics, compiled from a variety of original radio broadcasts from 1937 to 1972, but mostly from the '40s.
Three hours fifty nine minutes fifty one seconds with the Marx Brothers. Zany? Spontaneous? Slapstick? No single world could even begin to explain the style and charisma of the Marx Brothers. Their act was so unique that Jack Benny was to remark, "...nobody could follow the Marx Bros. It was impossible! When they got through with their act, that crazy act, no comedian could follow them..." This once rather unlikely comedy team rose to fame and captured the hearts of millions of moviegoers and radio listeners with the zany antics which were an inseparable part of their lives on and off the air. Groucho (with his sharp-tongued style of humor), Chico (with his impersonations and rapid-fire double talk), and Harpo (with his hilarious musical "un-ability" and pantomimes) combined contradictions, slapstick, and spontaneity into a one-of-a-kind act the likes of which has never been seen since! This 4-record set contains recordings of original Marx Brothers' radio broadcasts which are being released for the first time. Featured with them on this historic collection are other great stars of Radio and Hollywood.

Due to the age of these broadcasts, a certain amount of surface noise will be noticeable.
Manufactured and sold in the US.
Note: It has been several decades since we purchased these, and at least 15 years since we've had a record player/turntable, but the last we knew, all the records played fine despite some light marks.
