I was in the Chicago Gang Show way back when . . . in the sixties. Really loved it.

I remember Ralph and Bob Reader. Great memories. We used to stay up at Glenview Naval Air Base to rehearse the show . . . Wow

Brilliant video, but I am confused! Is this part 1 as stated on the title or shout it be part 7? As it is listed after part 6 and before part 8, also there is another video which is called part 1???

Great upload - really took me back - I'm an American whose family moved to the UK around this time. Spent my formative years watching a lot of these shows.

Thanks again, Max
