Hi all

>Anyone else besides Michelle (anti-Jim Dale) and Heidi (pro-Jim Dale)
>who has heard both the Dale & Fry versions?

I've heard a sample of both saying the same part from Philosophers/Sorcerers
Stone... but I don't have the Dale recording of Sorcerers Stone itself.
Come to think of it, I'm missing two tapes from the Fry version!

>I've not heard the Fry versions -- I own the cassettes & the CDs of all 4
books and can't
>really justify springing for another whole set in any format.

Well some good news - the BBC are aiming to Webcast on 26th December
12pm-8pm (UK Time)
Remember to bookmark the following page:

needed.
Make sure you are 'tuned in' to the FM frequency broadcast.

>I seem to recall that some of the British members who had heard both
versions also
>expressed a preference for Jim Dale, but I could be remembering
incorrectly.

You are Penny... I prefer the Dale version - more fun... but that's just me,
other Brits may not agree.

Nick.
