5.0 out of 5 stars I was awed!!!!, March 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gettysburg - The Complete Radio Drama (Audio Cassette)

Imagine closing your eyes and being there! That is what this tape set was like. Little round top, Pickett's charge, Seminary ridge, and Lincoln's Gettysburg address. All of this was presented as it must have sounded. This was not your standard "listen to a noble voice" read to you a book, this was recreated magic, an old fashion radio show made modern. The acting, sound effects and music were top shelf. Congratulations to Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Players for bringing this wonderful story to life. Now I will have to try their Little Big Horn production.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Gettysburg fan!, July 28, 2000

This review is from: Gettysburg - The Complete Radio Drama (Audio Cassette)

An excellent perspective on the battle that turned the tide of the Civil War. The sound effects used to transition from one scene to another was creative and pretty unusual. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this rendition of the intricacies of the battle and how the key participants acted, reacted and were perceived. A must for any Civil War buff. Recommend listening to this at home instead of the car to get the full effects of the sound effects. The sound effects definitely separates this classic from the traditional type of books on tape. Instead of having a book read to you, you are there!
