Excellent,
By "sloan123" (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
"Dracula" and the infamous "War of the Worlds" are both masterpieces of classic radio, and these elegant discs do them justice. The sound, while not perfect, is a lot better than I expected considering the source material is over 60 years old.

A terrific remastering.,
By Craig Clarke "Somebody Dies" (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
These are two legendary broadcasts from the Mercury Theatre on the Air. First, the infamous War of the Worlds from Halloween, 1938, and, on the second disc, Dracula, the first ever Mercury Theatre broadcast. Both evoke their respective moods perfectly, an example of the quality of work done by the Mercury Theatre.This is also a real deal for the price. Two CDs, excellent audio quality (especially considering the ages of the sources) and a retrospective booklet included. A perfect gift for the Old-Time Radio--or Orson Welles--fan.

Good value,
By RICH "RICH" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Very Best of (Audio CD)
Good value with Dracula as added bonus. Orson Welles broadcast was a classic.Shame my original purchase was lost and was sent several weeks later. A bit unfair of Amazon to refund & recharge my card to process my replacement which cost more than original purchase due to change in exchange rate! ;-( |
