This is a PB listing of an existing torrent - I
did not create it.

(Thanks to the original poster or the torrent)/>
I post it here to encourage a longtime healthy
seed.
I grew up listening to this recording,
and hence, prefer it to all other versions, even
though it is abridged. I wore out my original LPs
of it.
It is in wma format, but iTunes will
convert those files for you (you might want to
adjust your import settings down - 96kbps mono is
usually fine for audio books, although there is
some nice music in this recording).
The
entire recording is also available on youtube:

Release Notes/>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------/>
This CD was created using the audio cassette
release of the original recording.

I personally believe it to be of excellent quality
as making a copy using the

original LP source is prone to sounding crackly
and scratchy.

I have not sought to tamper with the audio in any
way to reduce tape hiss etc

because again I found that it muffled the original
audio somewhat. As such, no

noise reduction (Dolby B/C or other) has been
applied. If one should choose to

do so subsequently- that of course is entirely up
to you.
I have trasferred all 3 cassettes to
3 CDs. For ease in uploading the CD has

been condensed and encoded in WMA format (192k).
I have incorporated my own

chapter points- each track approximates to around
4-5 minutes. I have labelled

the chapter points in accordance with the actual
chapters of the book.
I hope you enjoy this
recording for it is by far the best audio reading
of the

book and indeed outstrips any known dramatisation
of the work to date- a

testament to the vocal abilities of the performer
Nicol Williamson. Each

character he voices- though there are many- all
are given a unique identity.

This together with incidental music throughout the
recording adds to its

perfection and all credit should be given to the
Director Harley Usill.
