Released on 4 LPs in 1974 by Argo Records, and adapted and produced by Harley Usil, Williamson does all the voice work with traditional medieval music used as bridging pieces throughout.Sadly the set has never been released on CD, and the originals now fetch rather steep prices with collectors.A Demetriou Production, 1974, Argo Record Co. Adapted and produced by Harley Usil. Very attractive boxed set of four LP records. It also contains a short booklet with details of the recording and a short essay on the Tolkien and the Hobbit. One of the first great dramatic readings of the Hobbit. Nicol Williamson, who later became very popular as Merlin in John Borman's Excaliber and many other movies, does a great job with character voices and the recording has very high production value. It is now extremely hard to find and record players may even be harder to come by.HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF RETAILERS PRICE:The Hobbit. 1974.
