The Shadow Radio Show (Cassettes)

In the late 1960s, and during the 1970s, several of The Shadow old-time radio programs were released on individual cassette tapes and privately traded by OTR enthusiasts. However, by 1988, the program rights terminated any "home-enjoyment" releases as commercially made cassettes of the show began to proliferate the market. All of the episodes listed below can also be heard on various 8-track tapes, albums and CD collections.

The following is a list of the numerous commercially released cassettes and "box set collections" featuring The Shadow's radio adventures. Note: most cassettes have two shows, one per side:
