I have over the years collected 7 different versions, 3 radio, and 4 filmed/TV.
(radio) A recording added to a later version of the A&C radio show, dated 1940-March-20, but I find that unlikely. The show, 'Lion hunting' is clearly a much newer show whereas WoF may be as old as 1940, maybe even 1938. There's a clear difference in quality between the two parts. Also noteworthy that this is not the complete skit, skipping a few players.
(radio) A recording from the Andrew Sisters Show where A&C appeared. Dated 1945-11-28
(radio) The most well know radio version from the Abbott and Costello Show. However, i have three separate files of it, all dated differently, but I *think* the one dated 1947-06-18 is probably correct. The others are dated 1942-05-11 and 1944-06-06, but they sound like it's the same show.
(movie) One Night in the Tropics 1940. Abridged version.
(movie) Naughty Nineties 1945. The classic, most well known versioon
(TV) The Colgate Comedy Hour 1951-01-07. Really good version, not very good quality recording, but A&C at their best.
(TV) The Abbott & Costello Show 1953-05-15
Anyoone know of other recorded version?
