Notes:

Side B: 1-5 Flatt & Scruggs "Martha White" Radio Broadcasts (continued)

Side B: 6-20 Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys "Grand Ole Opry" Radio Transcriptions, Circa-1947



Anonymous Collection 1 Cassette #139 features two sets of recordings:  1) a number of Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, 

& the Foggy Mountain Boys "Martha White Biscuit Time" radio show recordings from WSM-AM, Nashville, TN, circa-1956; 

the shows found here have been sharply edited-there are many tape cuts/edits between songs, and 2) "Grand Ole Opry" 

radio transcriptions featuring Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys circa-1947 when the band featured Monroe, Lester 

Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Chubby Wise, and Howard Watts.  The sound quality on both sets of recordings is rather rough, 

but of clear historical interest.

Recordist Notes:

Right channel has a weird buzz and is a lower volume level than the left.  Since this is a mono recording,

the left channel was used for this release.



Side B is labeled "426 OPRY"
