They were pressed, 12-inch shellac pressings at 78, two sides per
program. The program was syndicated to about 40 stations between March
1928 and Sept 1929. In March 1929 they moved from Marsh over to
Brunswick to do the recordings, and most of those (except for the ones
done in Los Angeles on the LTR prefix) are listed in the Brunswick
discography. Amos 'n' Andy was the first radio program to be syndicated
via recordings.
