I grew up on this recording, on LP of course! From 1960 to 1985, My mother, father, and I listened to it every Christmas Eve. I have been looking for a digital recording of this for over 25 years! and just the other day thought, oh what the heck, I'll try again - let's see if there's at long last a CD recording of this production. My search skills having improved, I found this new release of the original recording - amazing cast and amazing production - better than any other I have listened too. All great, great actors! Hope you all will try it out.
My family owned this on vinyl and played it every year at Christmas when I was young. It's a pleasure to find it on CD that I might continue the tradition.
If this is what I think it is, it is the hands-down best rendition of this most essential of stories. I feel it is better by far than any visual dramatization. When I read the original, I hear the voices of these readers. They are simply irreducible.
