The Lord of the Rings - Mind's Eye Radio Part One 1/9

This is the somewhat infamous 1979 radio production of The Lord of the Rings, adapted by
Bernard Mayes. It was produced by The Mind's Eye for the National Public Radio in the United
States. This production had particular issues with the pronunciations of some of the names,
such as "Sauron" and "Saruman", but that said, it does have its positive and negative
points.

Thanks very much for your feedback!

Very sorry you're lost with it, I'll try creating a playlist. The titles of the videos should help (at least a little bit). Thanks again :)

The Gaffer sounds like he's off his meds.

This is the only! adaptation to feature the Tom Bombadil scenes. So despite the pronunciation issues and the overuse of some of the cast (probably due to te small budget), I always loved this performance. It's the most faithful one I know of. Even the BBC version, which in many ways is far and away superior to this, isn't quite as faithful.
