You should check 'em out.

I love them both and go back and forth 
between them myself.  But IF I had to 
pick only one, my choice would be Fry.  
My library would already have the Dale 
ones available for me to borrow. :) They 
however do not have the UK versions in 
their collections.

But really, I don't think you can go 
wrong with either version.  The 
question is, just how deep does YOUR 
obsession run?  Might you want both?  
<evil grin>  Definitely buy the CD's 
though - my poor tapes are practically 
in shreds...
