Abbott and Costello - "Abbott and Costello45 - 01 - 11Lous House Needs Another Bathtub" (1945)

Abbott and Costello, “Lou’s House Needs Another Bathtub,” originally broadcast January 11, 1945. In this NBC broadcast sponsored by Camel cigarettes, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello bring their familiar fast-paced comedy to Lou’s newly purchased country home, Lumbago Ranch. Lou discovers the ranch has no bathtub, but wartime rationing makes a new one hard to come by. With Bud’s objections in tow, Lou turns to Mr. Kitzel’s swap shop in search of a secondhand solution. Ken Niles announces, with music by Freddie Rich and vocalist Connie Haines. Old Time Comedy Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
