Below is the story of how we came across these sets of records. This was written by the gentleman that stored a number of these sets for 25 years in his warehouse:

Several years ago an employee of ours acquired the inventory we now have for back rent that he was owed. They, like us were not knowledgeable in marketing products of this nature, but it is such a unique item that they have been paying storage fee's for years. Since my wife and I had been their best customer (we gave the records sets for gifts) they offered the entire inventory and we accepted. The story we have been told is Bob Hope in 1979 when these were produced, may have thought along similar lines as Frank Sinatra and authorized this work as a last hoorah. Regardless, timing and technology changed the methods that we the masses would listen by, leaving the LP records and fewer cassettes as the legacy. Whether other issues about his health were factors of this works not being relegated to newer technology we can only guess.

Regardless, we found that not only does the package, records and album offer great entertainment, it allowed us to share with our grandchildren what we thought to be humorous and moral. Often my wife and I are embarrassed when watching television with our grandchildren to see and hear language we find uncomfortable. It was refreshing to find really funny material (although not all of it politically correct), that lacked four letter words (except Hope) and still capable of getting the deep belly laughs we remembered. We have not been able to play more than one LP per evening due to the number of times everyone wanted to replay special parts. How to impart on others the experience of sharing laughter from entertainers, nearly all deceased, but still just as funny today is the task at hand. Once seen and heard the value of such an item soars.

In our gift giving we found the receivers would not play the records even though they had the capacity, wanting to keep it unplayed and more collectable.
