Below is a list of articles/reviews/items about Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Holmes and Watson. All but one of the links are to Archive.org. It is a long list, but includes some interesting facts about the radio show. Enjoh.

As this discussion will be deleted, but not for a while as I need to go over (download first as well) each episode and compare with mine, I thought I'd post my list in here. I'll start the new discussion in a mo (I've started by typing it up in text to copy and paste which I've just started as well as comparing the first episode - Bruce P. But I didn't want a huge list right at the start of the discussion.
As I've just said in a PM to Riklaa - I'm fairly sure of my info but I'm only human. I might make mistakes and if I'm going to do a new one I'd like it to be definitive.
1. Gresham's Law applies to OTR. The crap drives out the quality, as there is no way short of listening to EVERYTHING to find the few gems.
2. No matter what "OTR" site you choose, there will be errors, misattributions and omissions. The volume is too great for perfection.
3. The more popular the show, the more likely that counterfeits will be found. Everyone wants a "complete" set. In most cases, there ain't no such animal. The exceptions are so rare that they are notable!
4. I suggest that you start a NEW thread for your updates, corrections, additions, etc. Interposition of new replies in the middle iof this thread (which is already huge) make it difficult to follow. Start one called "Rathbone update" or some such. Use Jeremy's list as a jumping off point, making such changes as you feel appropriate. I'm sure others will chime in.
I'll miss that picture too (first time I'd seen it) and I always loved the colour / color HOUN poster that I added with the soundtrack. I'll find some way to include them both.
There seem to be lots of things to consider here.
To do this properly (what I would call properly anyway) I would have to download and listen to every episode on here. If I'm adding all the shows again then I'll want to add the best quality one.
I was thinking if a new discussion is started we would want it to be definitive. Let's say I made a mistake. I'm thinking for a while it would be a WIP work in progress and then when I've finished I'll go over it again and clean it up if needed so it might mean to get a definitive list this discussion has to be deleted twice. This one and the WIP.
As I have some free time today I could start. Whilst it's in progress this discussion has to stay here as I need to download episodes and compare against my versions and choose the best one. I could put a note at the start about it being a 2nd temporary Rathbone Bruce list with the aim of merging the 2 or something.
I believe the first of the existing episodes is The Bruce Partington Plans so I'll get on it. I'll keep an eye on this discussion as I'd like your thoughts on what I've said Riklaa. (and anybody else of course)
The last of the 4 incomplete and a fine version of The Man With The Twisted Lip which is complete. 44.1/64. I believe the 4 incomplete are 22.05/32.
Hopefully I can add more as there are 2 more episodes for which partial recordings exist.
40-01-29 The Second Stain
40-02-26 The Reigate Puzzle
I believe I have some better sounding versions of stuff on here as well. I haven't really gone through it all properly to match everything against mine. A lot of my stuff has larger file sizes which doesn't necessarily mean better sounding but I believe some of it is. I have at least 8 of the shows from a cassette audio book release from the 80s where - for want of a better word - the included shows were remastered to a degree.
Anyway the other 2 files. I'd say the 4 incomplete are for the collection but Twisted Lip is worth a listen.

PLEASE POST in the NEW THREAD.
All research and commentary is to go there.
As I've just said in a PM to Riklaa - I'm fairly sure of my info but I'm only human. I might make mistakes and if I'm going to do a new one I'd like it to be definitive.
Several suggestions:
1. Gresham's Law applies to OTR. The crap drives out the quality, as there is no way short of listening to EVERYTHING to find the few gems.
2. No matter what "OTR" site you choose, there will be errors, misattributions and omissions. The volume is too great for perfection.
3. The more popular the show, the more likely that counterfeits will be found. Everyone wants a "complete" set. In most cases, there ain't no such animal. The exceptions are so rare that they are notable!
4. I suggest that you start a NEW thread for your updates, corrections, additions, etc. Interposition of new replies in the middle iof this thread (which is already huge) make it difficult to follow. Start one called "Rathbone update" or some such. Use Jeremy's list as a jumping off point, making such changes as you feel appropriate. I'm sure others will chime in.

This one is getting cluttered and disjointed. It would be easiest to start over.
There seem to be lots of things to consider here.
To do this properly (what I would call properly anyway) I would have to download and listen to every episode on here. If I'm adding all the shows again then I'll want to add the best quality one.
