J.R.R. TOLKIEN
Reads And Sings His The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers / The Return Of The King
J.R.R. Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings books probably don’t need introducing and if you are a fan, this LP is almost like a relic. From the back cover:
“It is to be remembered that this material was recorded sometime before the publication of the book and no doubt, Tolkien reworked the material before submitting it to Rayner Unwin." A slight liberty has been taken with the Great Elvish poem which begins, “Ai! laurië lantar lassi surinen!” and is recorded on Side B, Band 6.”
“This record is based on a tape recording that J.R.R. Tolkien made when he was staying in my house in Malvern, Worcestershire. It was in August, 1952. For the whole of that summer he had been depressed because THE LORD OF THE RINGS, the book on which he had worked for fourteen years, had been refused by publishers, so that he had almost given up hope of ever seeing it in print. But the fact that they had all returned it made it possible for my wife, Moira, and I to borrow the only complete typescript and to become with our friend, C.S. Lewis, about the first passionately enthusiastic Tolkien fans.”

All LPs will be test played but only major defects will be reported.
I am happy to combine postage if you are interested in more than one record.

Overseas bidders please note that there is an Australia Post surcharge to some countries; this is to be paid by the buyer. Email for accurate postal costs before bidding.
