I found this stash of poetry on vinyl in a supply cupboard at the place where I work. A beautiful, odd collection, unplayed it seems in fifty years.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge. This is incredibly good. Semi-dramatised Ancient Mariner with Robert Hardy, Richard Burton and John Neville. Burton doing Frost at Midnight on side 2!

Really enjoyable and easy listening by literary vinyl standards, honest! Finnegans Wake by James Joyce with terrific Siobhan McKenna (she did Ulysses too) and v game Cyril Cusack. Caedmon TC1086

I started listening to them last night. I’m at the deep end with David Jones. Mainly The Anathemata and The Hunt.

I’ve found a stash of about 100 poetry records where I work. Could anything be more obsolete and wonderful?
