I am a huge Shelley Berman fan, and these are a big improvement on the versions I had. My copy of Edge was at a whopping 96k!
Of course, me being me, the first thing I did was break them down into routines. If anyone wants them that way, ping me.
My Dad turned me onto Shelley, and one of the biggest compliments I got when I was performing solo as a comedic songwriter/singer, was a guy who said "I hear a lot of Shelley Berman in your timing".
I had no idea, but I went back and listened to a recording of one of my shows, and yeah, it was definitely there in the stories I would tell as lead-ins for the songs.
I have since turned my wife onto him as well, and he is a favorite on our road trips.
If you run into any of the later albums, please post them!
Yeah, I usually would have broken it down into album sides but had a typical lightning power down and when that happens I have a save function that saves it all with no separations. Thus I would have had to go through three albums to figure out the sides as it is harder to see with spoken word so just left a one big mega file. I will keep an open eye for his later stuff, this is the first time I've heard him. Thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for these!

I know the material, and I have the timings from earlier versions I had, and it was still a bit tricky. I'll send you a link.
