CD Reviews

A terrific remastering.

Craig Clarke | New England | 01/16/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These are two legendary broadcasts from the Mercury Theatre on the Air. First, the infamous War of the Worlds from Halloween, 1938, and, on the second disc, Dracula, the first ever Mercury Theatre broadcast. Both evoke their respective moods perfectly, an example of the quality of work done by the Mercury Theatre.This is also a real deal for the price. Two CDs, excellent audio quality (especially considering the ages of the sources) and a retrospective booklet included. A perfect gift for the Old-Time Radio--or Orson Welles--fan."

Excellent

""Dracula" and the infamous "War of the Worlds" are both masterpieces of classic radio, and these elegant discs do them justice. The sound, while not perfect, is a lot better than I expected considering the source material is over 60 years old."
