Customer Reviews
Could have been better
Disappointed. Remastered? Original broadcast is much better. This one has no stereo channel separation which adds so much to the listening experience. I bought this hoping it would be an improvement over the original cassette version. Sometimes it is best to leave well enough alone.
Poor Audio Quality
It sounds like it was ripped from a CD on an iMac in 1999. The content here is fantastic—I’m not writing about that. This radio drama is one of the coolest-sounding productions you will ever hear. I read the other reviews decrying audio quality, but as I couldn’t find a good alternative source, I figured, “How bad can it be?” Twelve bucks wasted on tracks I will never listen to.
