For a last minute stocking-stuffer, Stephen Schochet's "Tales Of Hollywood" audiotape offers 45 minutes of non-stop movie lore. The ratio of fresh to familiar is surprisingly high, and even the twice-told tales retain some snap in Schochet's enthusiastic narration.

Recorded at Pacific Sound Systems at Granada Hills, "Tales Of Hollywood" incorporates original music and sound effects into a seamless, nostalgic package.
