Hi everyone -
I'm also desperately looking for the digital versions (or in any formatto tell the truth... ;-) of some of the pickwick tapes. The one that really would brighten up my day is the hound of the baskervilles with the col soundtrack from Mussorgsky (Night on bare mountain as I recall). This one I have so many childhood memories of, and I would like to brin 'em back! Does anyone have them on file somewhere???
Cheers David

Hullo chief! Found some Story-Teller stuff on YouTube including Shorty the Satellite! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So9br8dUBrI Used to love this story in particular, though the slightly eerie music and premise of being eaten by magnets in a black hole still gives me goosebumps!

Simon - thanks for commenting and congratulations on your skill and good fortune! I remember being very frustrated at the age of 8 or so that I couldn't figure out the answer. Did I get it right in the 5th comment above?

Hi just reading about steeleye and the lost magic, I was fortunate enough to be the winner of the competition. I met Jason the author and still have my signed copy of the book on my shelf. The pize of going to disney world is still one of my best memories.

It is time for these Pickwick Tell a Tale (Penguin Children's Classics) tapes to be digitised. I have written to Penguin and they have no archives so the only recordings available are those that are out there in dusty old boxes or at car boot sales! I remember so fondly listening to Hound of the Baskervilles and Treasure Island - I had all of them - but sadly my tapes were lost in a house fire. Now I want to share them with my children but can't find them ANYWHERE!
Can anyone help? Maybe we should start an on-line digitisation project?
