Thanks for that jerlgrain, you're a Gent!

raphael -

I've been a fan of these "story of" albums since I was a kid. I guess back then it was the only way to experience the films over and over, not like today where the kids are given all sorts of wonderful technology from birth :)

As well as the Star Wars LP's I also have the Raiders, Temple of Doom and The Black Hole. I used to have The Saga of Battlestar Galactica but it went AWOL for some reason (must try and get another copy). I also managed to pick up a copy of The story of Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade on CD, not sure if the fourth film has been given the story treatment.

Of all the story of records my own personal favourite has always been The Empire disc. I listened to that so many times when I was younger that watching the actual film became a strange experience as I heard the cool narration (by Malachi Throne) in my head. The Star Wars and Jedi narrator's never quite managed to inspire the same cinematic vision as he did.

back to the subject...

Do let me know if you intend to go any further with any of these projects. I fully intend to get this trilogy encased and on my shelf in the not-to-distant future......just remembered, I have a Phantom Menace story of as well, though it's more of a "turn the page" type of thing than the others.
