Music Review: A must-have for fans of Sherlock Holmes radio shows
Rating: 5 Stars
As a fan of all Sherlock Holmes stories, I began collecting the radio shows on cassette several years ago. Since then, the tapes have become worn, and cassette players (for cars) are becoming a thing of the past, so I've been looking for a CD version of these wonderful radio shows. This collection has all of the radio shows that I had on cassette, plus many more that I'd never heard before. The cassette versions had some interesting narrations provided and recorded in the 80's (and maybe early 90's) by Anthony Boucher, the announcer of many of those 40's era radio shows, which aren't included on these CDs, but it seems like a fair trade since this set includes many other Sherlock Holmes radio shows that I'd never heard before. The radio program ads are still there (Petri Wine, and Bromo-Quinine Cold Tablets), which are an itegral part of the shows. Since these shows were produced and captured onto lacquer discs (the common recording medium of the 40's, and was used to send these shows overseas to our soldiers during WWII), the audio quality isn't always pristine, but even the shortcomings of transcribing these shows from old lacquer discs adds to the charm and vintage flavor. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are at their finest in these radio shows, and to receive 25 CDs with two shows on each for less than $25 is a steal of a deal in my humble opinion. This is a must-have collection for any Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce, Sherlock Holmes, or old radio show fans!
