HERE'S SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR "COMMAND PERFORMANCE": 226 PATRIOTIC CLASSIC OLD-TIME RADIO SHOWS SPECIFICALLY CREATED FOR OUR FIGHTING TROOPS OVERSEAS ON 8 CDs !!! THIS SPECIAL EDITION OF COMMAND PERFORMANCE SHOWS FEATURES OUTSTANDING OVERALL QUALITY WITH MANY OF THE SHOWS ENCODED ANYWHERE FROM 64kbps TO 256kbps !!! "Command Performance" featured the most popular stars of Hollywood's stage and screen with performers such as Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Durante, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Dinah Shore, Lina Romay, Judy Canova, Ella Mae Morse, William Bendix, Lionel Barrymore, Marilyn Maxwell, Kay Kayser, Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson, Rita Hayworth, Nat King Cole and many, many more! Each and every show gets several, or many, stars together to do comedy, songs and even dances, based on the ideas of the GI's listening. At first, the crack writing staff actually took ideas firsthand from the troops themselves. Later, the shows were transcribed by the Armed Forces Radio Service from Hollywood, but continuing to use the requests that poured in from all over the world. It was estimated that $75,000 a week would be needed to produce such an extravagant program each week, but all the performers donated their services to this war effort show, including the networks production studios. In fact, "Command Performance" had no budget and paid no money to anyone.
