One of the few good things my father did was to record the original radio play broadcasts onto compact cassettes. They're long since overplayed and stretched, and I don't have a player, but I listened to them over and over again in the 80s and 90s
- jacquesm 9y agoEventually they were released on CD.
- cyberferret 9y agoYes - we had the radio play CD's on continuous play as our office 'music on hold' system many many years ago. Half our customers would come off hold asking us what the hell they were listening to, and the other half would ask to be put back on hold so they could finish listening to the episode playing that day. Sadly, we had some hooligans break into our office one day and about the only thing they stole was the CD player sitting next to the phone main console behind the receptionist desk which was playing the on hold CD's, PLUS the CD collection of HHGTTG. We found both at the bottom of the office building stairwell, smashed to pieces...
- pacaro 9y agoHmmm $160 on amazon.com and £45 on amazon.co.uk — good job I'll be in the uk this summer Also the best theme tune ever!
- cyberferret 9y ago"Journey of the Sorcerer" - written by The Eagles, no less!
- cyberferret 9y agoI'll have to go to eBay and try and find another CD set (see my other story in this thread). One of my most treasured possessions is my book of the original radio scripts for series, complete with all the edits and omitted scenes. My introduction to HHGTTG was: (1) the radio series (2) the first 3 books (3) the TV series then much later (4) the other 2 books (5) the movie (6) the sixth ghost written book. Interesting to see the difference in storylines on each medium over time, but the radio, books and original TV series will always be my all time favourites.
