Re: Audio Tape of the Books

Many thanks for the reply. Good to know that Pickwick never re-published the books under their own title. I wonder did they market the already published books in a pack with the audio cassettes? I know that they did this with the Ladybird Books and the Disney Read Along Books too. The Blyton cassett...

Re: Audio Tape of the Books

A quick query about the 26 Ditto Twin cassettes that were produced by Pickwick International in the 1980's. Did the Cassettes have accompanying books which were also branded under the Ditto label? I know that the artwork on the cassette cases corresponded to The Sunshine Purnell Library book edition...

Happy Adventure Tales Cassettes

I post this every year or so in the hopes someone will have a spare copy they are looking to sell. Trying for ages now to get a copy of the twin cassette pack of 'Happy Adventure Tales'. Secured one of the two cassettes a few years back but the sound was awful quality. Anybody come across these cass...

Re: Cassette Information Wanted

I have the other 'twin' of each of Anit'a Tapes and have had mp3 rips of them made. They were seperated when sold to us. I don't have the other cassette for Happy Adventure Tales, which I have been desperately searching for for years. Pickwick is difficult to find these days. I have been tracking Pi...

Hi Keith,
Do you think a section could be developed where the files could be uploaded directly to the site?

Re: Audio Tape of the Books

Yes, most of the stuff is no longer for sale. If asked to take it down, we will.

Perhaps someone can help me with the uploading problem!

Re: Audio Tape of the Books

Hi Anita, I haven't actually digitised anything yet but I've been told it is as simple as hooking up the tape recorder to the computer and digitising the recording with some software. I have all the equipment and will give my tapes a bash this week. If all works out, I will of course do yours. Shari...

Re: Audio Tape of the Books

We should really pool all of our resources together and digitise as many of the 1980's audio cassettes as possible as they are becoming more and more rare. Could we make a section for it ?(admin?) I have a few tapes that I'd be happy to share once I convert them. They are part of a two-pack set that...
