The Hound Of The Baskervilles - Read By Hugh Burden

Posted by David Knight on May 30, 2012 at 9:51pm

Abridged Hugh Burden reading of The Hound. 1977 Double Cassette pack on Listen For Pleasure (which UK Timespast people will remember - along with it's more famous brother "Music For Pleasure" - as being a budget label that regularly used to make it's way into the Woolworths, Woolcos and WH Smiths of this world).

 

There's an immense amount of Sherlock here on Timespast and this particularly story is available in many forms. For all it's worth these are MP3s of the very tapes that got me into both Sherlock Holmes and audiobooks and radio drama, more than 30 years ago.

    Thank you for this wonderful reading by Hugh Burden, a great performance from a great thespian!

    Thanks for more Holmes, David!

    Thanks David. This will bring back some memories. I remember lending it from my library years ago when I still lived in London. They had a number of Hugh Burden readings. I would make copies on one of those double cassette recorders of the time. I lost those copies years ago and haven't heard them since.
    Just to add for potential downloaders. David has uploaded this as 4 files. To save going through the download process 4 times click the 'Download all' link on the left. You'll get one zip file of all 4 parts.
    If you have a scanner David then I'd love a scan of the cassette inlay card as well.
    Thanks again.

      I've just remembered you asked for a scan of cover Jake, yes - no problem, I'll sort out tomorrow when I'm home.

    Thanks for the share, David.  It was the Petherbridge HotB that really got me interested in OTR, though I did love listening to ghost story records as a kid. -Karen

      Can never have too many Sherlock readings.

      Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for this. I did have a copy of this in the early 80's along with A Study In Scarlet. I believe ASIScar was read by Tony Britton, who also read The Valley Of Fear. All three were available in the double cassette format, roughly two hours in length. I bought these audiobooks after recording Sherlock Holmes V Dracula from the Radio 4 broadcast in December 1981. I also bought a heavily edited cassettte copy of Dracula read by Anthony Valentine.

     I am downloading now and hope that the artwork is included.

    Again many thanks for this,

     

    Michael
