Charles Laughton reads from the King James Version of the Old Testament. Stories include "The Garden of Eden (Genesis 2-3)", " The Fiery Furnace (Daniel 3)"," Noah's Ark (Genesis 6-9)", and "David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17)." Yes I know they are out of Biblical order, but that's the order they are in on the record. I can't find a date for the record but it appears to be 1950s Decca.

Just what it says. Somewhat dated. A soundtrack to a filmstrip.

I'm working on an incentive for those who donate. I seem to have quite a few fans but very little support. Please use the Paypal link to help cover the cost of the site. Or at least leave a comment to show me how much you enjoy the albums or what types you would like to hear. Thanks for listening. I would like to post more often but I'm not getting much encouragement to do so.

BTW: The show has become so popular (Thanks fans) that I'm now being charged for extra bandwidth. If you'd like to help keep this show on the air, please click on tha PayPal icon at the upper right and donate a dollar or two (or more if you're extra generous.) I really appreciate the fan response. I had no idea so many shared my love of these recordings. So please help out if you can.

An interesting record. An audio documentary about television. Narrated by Milton Berle (Mr. Television), and Hugh Downs with Arlene Francis. It covers the first 25 years of television. Sorry no cover this time. My scanner is on the fritz.

I would be remiss in my duty as a Christian if I did not post this in time for Christmas. Please remember that Christ is the beginning of Christmas. This is a full cast audiodrama of the life of Christ. It is 90 minutes long but well worth a listen. Merry Christmas - Apestench
