"VAI has answered our prayers by giving us the next two volumes of Voice of Firestone telecasts. Both the picture and sound of these treasures have never been seen before in such excellent technical shape. If you love these singers or have nostalgia for a long gone era, I urge you to acquire as many volumes in this series as VAI issues. You will be amply rewarded!" -- David Reynolds, American Record Guide (Nov/Dec 2024)
