There are many
sources to buy or trade Jean Shepherd shows, movies, books and misc.
items. Below are a list of some of them. I will add more as I become
aware of them. |

Jean
Shepherd WOR Shows and other Audio |
|
A lot of Shep fans used to record
shows and over the years many of these have surfaced and are becoming
available. Unfortunately the quality is not the best in quite a few
cases, but it's still Shep!
There are two sources for many of the
shows that I know of. Schmidco has, over the years, obtained the
original reel to reel copies of tapes from fans and painstakingly
converted them to cassette tape preserving as much quality as
possible. In some cases the "original studio masters" have been
obtained and used, which sound as good as the day they were broadcast.
Another source which has recently come to be is "The Jean
Shepherd Project"
consisting of a group of collectors trading for shows and offering
them in MP3 format on CDs. While the quality of MP3 is not as good as
cassettes or CDs, and many may already be 3rd or 4th generation
copies, they are a good source for the not so fussy listener. |

Max Schmid has a vast
collection of WOR and Limelight shows available for sale. He also has
many misc. radio appearances, and videos. Many of these come from
studio masters. A great place to start collecting. |

and has a great Q&A period after the show, where Shep does/does
not answer many questions. |
