Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel (The Original Recordings)
As detailed in my book, Marx and Re-Marx, the 26 original episodes of the Marx Brothers first radio series vanished into the ether shortly after their original run. However, luckily for fans everywhere, some extracts survive - including one complete instalment. For your listening pleasure these are presented below. Sorry about the poor recording quality but as far as I know these could have been stuffed down the back of someone’s radiator for seventy years.
Episode 24 – May 8th, 1933
NB: Two extracts, presented one after the other.
Episode 25 – May 15th, 1933
NB: Extant recording includes roughly the last half of the programme.
Episode 26 – May 22nd, 1933
