The Best Of Sherlock Holmes * by Basil Rathbone (CD, Aug-2005, 25, Mill Creek Entertainment)

Brand new copies of the radio show from the late 1940s. The audio clarity is far superior than what I can download from the 'net. I prefer John Stanley and Alfred Shirley as radio actors, but Rathbone and Bruce are also up there. With 50 shows in the CD packet I purchased, I'm enjoying the antics of Sherlock and John more and more.

i love sherlock holmes these are very good to relax with. plus there some that i have not read before

This series is a must have for those of us who love Basil as Sherlock. It is great to hear all of the old commercials and the realistic sound effects. The only thing that I noticed is that sometimes the intro for the next story that is told at the end of the current story is not the story that comes on next. I hardly notice it once the story starts and am only mentioning it in passing. I truly will enjoy these cd's for a very long time.

Fifty half hour radio episodes of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce from the 1940's. Complete with the original Petri Wine commercials, which become quite boring over time. Dr. Watson relates the adventures he shared with Sherlock Holmes in England's 1900's. These are the same actors who made countless Sherlock Holmes movies in the same era. Good old fashioned radio drama. Great for long solo car trips and fun for fans of old time radio. Remembrances of an earlier, gentler "theater or the mind". I love old radio acting and found this collection a inexpensive addition to my archives.

If you like old-time radio you will love this set.This set has an abundance of great stories.I have always liked the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

I BUY FOR RESALE AND THIS ITEM SOLD FAST AS WHITE LIGHTNING. I LISTED IT AS SOON AS I RECIEVED IT AND I SHIPPED IT OUT AGAIN THE VERY NEXT DAY. IF YOU BUY FOR RESALE AND CAN BUY THIS ITEM AT A PROFITABLE LEVEL I CAN'T RECCOMEND IT MORE HIGHLY.

GREAT ! I LOVE OLD RADIO SHOWS ON DVD. They had low shipping,it is just my taste,my family loved them too !

These cd's are great fun to listen to as they contain the entire radio broadcast format. The quality to date on the cd's I've listened to has been exceptional. A bargain at the price.

The programs are direct episodes that were aired some 50 years ago. Just what you would expect, commercials and all.

Just great CD all the best of Sherlock Holmes by Basil Rathbone. All ine one place. Easy to use. Very hard to find these shows in CD's with out back ground noise.

Its just great to listen to these old Sherlock Holmes stories on my commute. Only bad thing is that I went though all of them and now looking for more to listen to. I bought these becaause of the great price.

My husband is a fan of sherlock holmes and I bought this for his birthday . He loves it. The price was great.

Unbelievable value for the money. When I first saw it advertised on daily deals I couldn't believe the price. Received 25 CDS with 50 episodes. Best buy ever.

This was absolutely the worst purchase I have ever made. Very dull. Read the fine print about the item contents. You will hear all the old radio advertisements. They left nothing out. I was thinking I would have many hours of listening to stories while driving. Silence was better. I did manage to resell it for twice as much as I paid for it so all was not lost.

The price was great. The stories are very good. When you are going on a trip, this is a great way to pass the time by listening to stories on audio CDs.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Although not the true A. Canon Doyle stories, these adventures are based upon the original Doyle adventures. As a lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan I can now listen to these classic adventures in the car. Basil Rathbone remains one of the great actors to play the role. The period commercials, i.e. Petri Wine, add to the ambiance of the old radio broadcast. This was a great buy and a bargain!

This was a present for my boyfriend. I think he'll love it! I thought that it was going to be DVDs for some reason, but I know that these will be good for him listen to driving to and from school!

These have the original sponsor messages on them and other news from the time period that they were made. It is like a step back in TIME!!!!
WHAT A GREAT BUY!!!

I am a mystery fan and saw this advertised as a "deal of the day".
It was $6.oo which i believe included free shipping. You get 26 CD's
with 2 episodes on each CD of 1940's radio show of sherlock holmes.
Actors are Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone. The commercials are fun to listen
if a little bit tedious.... What ever happened to Petrie wine? I'm half way through the series and there has only been 2 scratchy recordings. I'm not sure I would want to listen to the stories over and over but its a perfect thing to listen to and pass on to the next armchair slueth.

The twenty four cd set was everything I expected. Sound quality was quite good. The set came in a box with each cd in it's own sleeve. I'm very happy with the purchase.

This was initally purchased as a gift for my mother several weeks ago. I was impressed with the accurate information that was listed on the item. It was shipped quickly and packaged to withstand almost anything the carrier could do to it. For those who may have problems setting and reading a book or for those who might want to listen to stories on the radio like our parents or grandparents did, this would be it. Plus, the price was truly a DEAL. I am sure that when my mother gets it, she will be more than pleased with it.

We are tremendous fans of Sherlock Holmes. Watch regularly on our local PBS television station
We will be taking an extensive motor car trip and having these CD's will make the driving alot more pleasurable

I bought this set a couple of weeks ago for my husband who is a huge fan. Since then we've sat together a couple of times and listened to a couple of the old shows in the evening because it is just so entertaining! Different than the movies, you can also drive long distances and enjoy a story at the same time. They are truly classics. I highly recommend them.

Some of the CDs were mislabeled, but the audio is very good. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Sherlock Holmes movies.
