Amazon just recommend this to me.

Anyone know anything about it?

Bradbury 13 [Audiobook][Unabridged] (Audio CD)

Bradbury 13 is a collection of 13 radio dramas masterfully adapted from classic short stories by veteran science-fiction author Ray Bradbury. Bradbury's stories refract our own fears and foibles through otherworldly prisms. Each dramatization is approximately thirty minutes long and includes original music. This collection includes the following:

A Sound of Thunder Time Safari, IncDark They Were and Golden Eyed Harry
The Happiness Machine
The Fox and the Forest
Here There Be Tygers .
Kaleidoscope .
The Man
Night Call,
The Screaming Woman
There Was an Old Woman Old !
The Veldt
The Wind
The Ravine

BUY IT, and listen in a darkened room.

Wow...had no idea this was happening so soon. Makes me laugh thinking about all the time I spent digitizing my audio cassette copies so I could have the series in my iTunes library.

Anyone know if this will include the interview from the original cassette release? Amazon doesn't mention it.

I didn't know this release was imminent, but I was aware that there were moves to release it. The episodes became available as high(-ish) quality MP3s on the Twilight Zone Radio Show store a while ago, but now we can FINALLY get them on CD. I noticed that the artwork on Amazon is the same as on the TZ site, so this looks like a co-ordinated effort.

I'll see if I can get an update from the original series producer.

Blackstone have more detail, but make no reference to any extras, such as interviews:

I like that the British say "Blackstone have", rather than "Blackstone has".

"The British" fluctuate(s) between "have" and "has" depending on how rapidly he/she/it type(s)!

These audio adaptations seem to me to be the best of the best.
Would love to see a similar release of radio BBC's Ray Bradbury's Tales of the Bizarre.

By the way Twilight Zone Radio is soon to release their adaptation of Ray Bradbury's "I Sing The Body Electric!" http://twilightzoneradio.blogspot.com/

I agree. The BBC series dared to use some rarely adapted stories, and did them rather well.

Maybe that's how they distinguish between a person's and a firm's name.

You're quite right, dandelion. We Brits tend to refer to companies as "they". So we say "they have the CD in stock", and hence "Blackstone have the CD in stock". At least, in colloquial and spoken English. In formal writing, I would normally tend to correct the "have" to "has" if Blackstone were the subject of the sentence.

Never thought I would use the subjunctive in a message board...

Well, you has now!

Subjunctive is a good word.
