"Laurel & Hardy on Stage (Rare and Unreleased Live Performances 1942-1957")

A coffee table size hardcover book with TWO CD's included! Loaded with never before seen photos from live stage shows, radio and public appearances! For the first time anywhere TWO different recordings of the "Driver's License Skit" plus a 1944 NBC radio Laurel and Hardy Audition show and 70 minute interview with Stan Laurel recorded just one week after Oliver Hardy's death. All in pristine sound from the original master recordings. This book fills an important void in the history of Laurel and Hardy--covering a time period that is mostly forgotten and unknown. Beautifully illustrated with dozens and dozens of LARGE photo illustrations most of which have never been seen before. World renown Laurel and Hardy expert Randy Skretvedt has written three special essays for this book covering the history of Laurel and Hardy on radio, the importance of the "Driver's License Skit" to their careers and the significance of the Stan Laurel interview. Peter Mikkelsen has faithfully translated Stan Laurel's scrapbook clippings of the press coverage of their live shows in Denmark in 1947. John Tefteller tells the fascinating tale of how these rare recordings were discovered.
