Music, madness, death, and darkness face amateur criminologist Lamont Cranston and The Shadow. In the midst of the most classic of mystery motifs - from foreboding castles to frame ups - he unravels each remarkable riddle. From elusive treasure to conclusive evidence: How? Why? And, who dunnit? Let your curiosity lead you through two newly discovered Orson Welles episodes, available here for the first time since their original broadcasts in 1938 - "He Died at Twelve" and "The Black Buddha." Consider the clues in more classic episodes starring Bill Johnstone and Bret Morrison as the cloaked crusader. Ask yourself, is that really Ken Roberts singing in "Tenor With a Broken Voice"? Episodes Include: Tenor with a Broken Voice 06-05-38; He Died At Twelve 07-10-38; The Black Buddha 09-04-38; Traffic in Death 09-25-38; Murder in E Flat 12-04-38; Phantom Fingerprints 10-29-39; Mansion of Madness 11-05-39; Death Shows the Way 12-03-39; Murderer's Vanity 03-17-40; The Case of the Three Frightened Policemen 11-16-41; They Killed With a Silver Hatchet 05-26-46; Makeup for Murder 12-01-46; The Shadow of Suspicion 12-29-46; The Bones of the Dragon 01-11-48; Reflection of Death 05-09-48; The Giant of Madras 05-16-48; Murder at Dead Man's Inn 09-12-48; Murder by a Corpse 10-31-48.

      Eighteen digitally remastered episodes, spanning 10 years of broadcasting, featuring all the veterans of the show AND advertisements for Blue Coal and Goodrich Tires. What more could an old-time radio fan want? Perhaps a few "lost episodes" tossed into the mix? Sure, why not? This collection is crisp, clear, and includes two newly discovered adventures, "The Old People" and "The Voice of the Trumpet." It's hard to know if listening to this recording is JUST like cozying up to the radio and tuning in week after week (as this reviewer wasn't around then, and we get all the episodes at once with no anxious waiting). But as the introductory music swells, and you hear Johnstone or Morrison or (best yet) Welles speak the Shadow's famous lines, don't be surprised if you detect that familiar childhood thrill. A.A.
