The new radio season found Bing signed up with Chesterfield Cigarettes (to whom he had also been signed for a series of shows in the early 1930s), but with the same supporting team as for the Philco series. Ken Carpenter as announcer, John Scott Trotter Orchestra, and the programme was broadcast over the CBS network.
There is evidence that some of the Chesterfield shows contain tracks pre-recorded in the studio and inserted into the shows. Where this has occurred the surviving tapes of the original inserted material are of high audio quality. Some have been issued by Collectors' Choice in collaboration with Bing Crosby Enterprises.
It follows that some of the songs that appear in different shows might have used the same master copy but the present compiler has done no work on this at the present time.
Some shows also appear to have used inserts from the commercial recordings. See notes to No 7 in the series.
