He did sound great. (They picked a great line for him. . . you know -- they could have had Julie explaining "booty call" to Caleb -- in multiple languages. That would have been fun.)
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

None of the cds of Hitchhiker appear to be available in the US.
I see this for the first series, this for the 2nd series and this for the 3rd series.
Is that right?

Not quite - the first link includes the first 2 series - you only need that and the third link
A geeklord adds - the CDs are actually rerecordings of the first 2 seasons of the radio show, but I dunno if there's a significant difference.

Thanks!
Were the recordings of the first two series too horrible to make into a cd?

Yay Port Adelaide! :)

I can't even.
I was just watching the final, talking about it on the go with my friend who lives in Adelaide. He's pretty excited, that was a good match and a good win for the Power.

I'm a Crows fan but it's always nice to see an Adelaide team win. Especially in such a historic grand final.

I'm not sure, as I don't have the CDs, but I suspect the re-recording in question may be the one produced for the LP set, which was different in some ways to the radio version. The Family (capital F for extended family) owns both LPs and taped copies of the radio series, so I've heard both as well as having read the books, but I wouldn't care to try and list the differences.

Maybe only the Collector's Edition CDs. I have The Primary Phase and The Secondary Phase on Audio CD, released in 1996 and purchased about 1998, and these are definitely the same as the radio broadcasts. I know because I taped the last 4 episodes on my little cassette player standing next to my wee radio at the time (this would be around 1980-81), and played them until I knew them forward, backwards, and inside out. The CDs are identical.
Am-Chau, I also remember hearing an LP recording of the books, using most of the same cast as the radio series, but following the plot of the first two novels. Just to add to the confusion.

Fiona, HHGttG is clearly a fandom with many, many versions of canon. I suspect that you're right, and the LPs I'm thinking of are the recordings of the books. That makes sense: radio series, later released on CD; book; book dramatised on LP. (Also television series, comic, and soon-to-be film, but let's not drag those in right now.)
