I thought that someone would certainly have picked this one up by 
now.  I guess we're all a bit too shy!.

I received "The Family Radio" album as a gift, and I certainly 
recommend it to all.  It's a 2 record set, containing many
of the more popular songs from the last few years' shows, and 
rather less of the monologues.  In particular, there are a few 
*excerpts* from "News from Lake Wobegon", but these tend to run
only 2-3 minutes each.  There are also a few "commercials", but these
too are excerpts.  

Generally this album serves fairly well as a "composite" show.
Most curiously, the one thing which is missing from the album is 
THE THEME SONG! (Hello Love).  That was a real oversight.

The "inside" cover features the lyrics to most of the songs, while
the back cover contains a funny little essay by GK about a 
traumatic experience he suffered while participating in a school
choir.  It also contains a small photograph of him standing by a 
snowy field (Ah, Minnesota......).

All in all, well worth owning.
