The Man from Laramie
Many of Stewart’s films had soundtrack albums released. His voice did not appear on most of these (although his photo usually did), but they are still quite collectable and sought after by his fans. Even when there was no soundtrack album, there were releases – 78’s, 45’s and LP’s. Such is the case with The…
An Incident of War – Updated Information
When our book was published, we knew very little about the show, An Incident of War, which appears to be Stewart’s very first radio broadcast. We were first alerted to the program by this short note in Stewart’s hometown newspaper, the Indiana Evening Gazette: A quick check of the New York Times for May 28,…

Many of these discs featured movie and…

Public Service Announcement – 1962 Christmas Seals
At the time our book was published, we knew of four Christmas Seal campaign records on which Mr. Stewart appeared – 1958, 1961, 1963 and 1964. Now, we can add 1962 to that list. The message delivered by Stewart is the same one which appeared on the 1961 disc and would subsequently also be used…

The company recorded, transcribed and syndicated a variety of radio programs from the 1920’s into the 1970’s. In addition, they also recorded hundreds of radio commercials and public service announcements. Several years ago many…
