Arthur C. Clarke - 2001: A Space Odyssey
When I was transferring posts to this new version of this blog on the new Blogger engine, this one somehow got lost in the shuffle and never made it here until now. I forgot about this LP on the old version of this blog originally posted on October 12, 2006.
This particular release contains the final chapters of 2001 read by Arthur C. Clarke himself and a snippet of the memorable Richard Strauss piece, Also sprach Zarathustra, used as the film version's theme music. No need for me to explain the plot as I'm sure most people are familiar with it, but just in case this Wikipedia site explains everything. There is an audiobook of the complete novel on tape and CD, but I am not aware of any other release having a reading of this work by Clarke.
