"The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Voice In The Smoke and Other Mysteries" by Jim French Productions under the Imagination Theatre banner
Just finished listening to "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Voice In The Smoke and Other Mysteries" by Jim French Productions under the Imagination Theatre banner, released by Radio Spirits.
Now although I am friends with Lawrence Albert, who brought the steadfast and loyal biographer of Sherlock Homes to life, Dr. Watson, in Imagination Theatre's original Sherlock Holmes productions, I have never meet Lawrence Albert in person, though we have exchanged a few emails here on Facebook. I am a firm believer in full disclosure. Oh, and I do have the receipts, so I do not get free review copies of anything that I review, nor would I accept free review copies in this instance since it would be seen as tainting my honesty as a reviewer.
For reason which still escape and perplex me, Radio Spirits has yet to provide a book explaining the history behind any of Imagination Theatre's audio productions. Perhaps it has something to do with the five-year distribution agreement both companies have. In my opinion, Radio Spirits is losing out on a great opportunity to preserve a part of radio history but not including a similar booklet like they do in just about every other collection they release of shows from the Radio's Golden Age.
Once again, the late John Patrick Lowrie and the still very much alive Lawrence Albert, bring Holmes and Watson to vivid life in this great collection of Imagination Theatre's Sherlock Holmes audio dramas. And Homes does find his powers of deduction stretched to the limit in several outings where he confronts the supernatural and misdirection.
My favorite stories in this collection are: "The Adventure of the French Compass," "The Disappearance of the Cutter Alicia," "The Voice In The Smoke,' "The Adventure of the Fatal Anniversary" - which just happens to the the 100th show in this series - and "The Adventure of the Stolen Hunter."
Imagination Theatre did an outstanding job in producing all of it's original shows, the "The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is definitely one of the finest jewels in their crown. Oh yes, and since Radio Spirits won't do Imagination Theatre justice by sharing it's history in booklets with each of the Imagination Theatre collections, check out Imagination Theatre's online.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
