Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Golfstrokers' Quirk

The performers featured on this CD are more eminent as Sherlockians than as actors (as you will see!) - it is just a bunch of Sherlockians having a great time at a Canonical Convocation and Caper (CCC). What it lacks in the way of professional acting (and that's a lot!), it makes up in pure fun. You'll enjoy it!
OK, here's what happened! As part of the entertainment at a gathering of the Canonical Convocation and Caper (CCC) up in Door County, WI , a little "radio drama," which was entitled "The Golf-Stroker's Quirk," was actually performed. The title evolved from the fact that, as part of the plot, Dr. Watson is invited to the British Open golf tournament and Mr. Holmes goes along as his caddie. While the famous pair has been lured out of town (a la "The Stockbroker's Clerk"), a nefarious scheme unfolds back in London - and just wait until you find out who the villain turns out to be! The drama (which is something of a lampoon of the original Rathbone/Bruce radio broadcasts of the '30s and '40s) was actually performed live, on stage, at the Ephraim, WI city hall with such well known Sherlockian thespians as David Hammer, the late Bob Hahn, Jerry Kaufmann, Luci Zahray, Gayle Simnick, and Tom Biblewski in the cast (SFX by Carolyn
Senter and Janet Biblewski; direction by Joel Senter). Due to a stroke of brilliant planning, the "broadcast" was recorded for posterity. As a live recording, the performance is enhanced by audience reaction (and some other stuff). The "broadcast" is intended to amuse and it stars prominent Sherlockians (if not great actors!!). We have now been able to re-master, and edit the show in its entirity on a modern CD disk!! We'd really like to give this disk to you, we think that every fun-loving Sherlockian ought to have one, but, quite frankly, we are still trying to pay for the audio equipment we bought to make this recording (and some othes that we will be sharing with you shortly). It is a fun thing; you'll enjoy it!

The Favourite Music of Sherlock Holmes
Compact Disk
The collection was originally assembled by Mr. Anthony Smith-Masters in England and originally recorded on magnetic tape. With the absolutely indispensable assistance of our Sherlockian friends Sandra Wolf, Kay Sturm, John Roach, and Roger Johnson we can now bring you this musical collection on a modern compact disk. This collection includes selections from Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Offenbach, and J. Strauss, among the works of other well-known composers, with selections ranging from rousing to serene. Everyone who has heard this CD has been struck by its remarkable audio quality. The Favourite Music of Sherlock Holmes provides a most pleasant listening experience.
(For the long version of the history of this recording, see below; to skip to the ordering table, please click here.)
There is a long and, we hope, interesting story behind this CD of "The Favourite Music of Sherlock Holmes." Almost 20 years ago we purchased some audio cassettes of a set of musical selections which had been assembled by a gentleman in England named Anthony Smith-Masters (a very proper British name!). Well, these recordings turned out to be fairly popular, so we ordered two or three additional supplies from Mr. Smith-Masters. The last time we contacted him with an eye to procuring more "Favourite Music" recordings, he told us that he was closing his Anvil Recordings business and moving to a retirement home. We asked him if we could reproduce the recordings and pay him a royalty for those we sold. He said, in effect, "I'm giving up the business so I don't care what you do with them." For some time we considered reproducing the recordings, but various other more pressing issues attracted our attention and we never got around to it. In the ensuing years several things happened, first, we misplaced the only copy of the original recording we had, so we had nothing to reproduce. A few months ago, while doing some long overdue straightening of our inventory area, we came across our sole remaining copy of Mr. Smith-Masters' original recordings. All seemed well! However, when we tried to find the descriptive insert (they call it a "J-card") that was originally packaged with the cassette, we couldn't locate that. Our disorganization had struck again! Classical music is certainly not our forte, so we couldn't identify all of the selections by listening to them, so we asked some of our more erudite friends to lend us their ears. No one we knew was able to do identify all the selections by listening to them - their identities even eluded one of our friends who had worked as a "disk jockey" on a classical music radio station! So, we were stymied again. We sent out an appeal to our Sherlockian friends via the internet. To the rescue! A couple of our long-time friends actually had copies of the original J-card listing the names of all of Mr. Smith-Masters' musical selections! Great! Now we were back in business! One little additional problem emerged, however. By this time the audio cassette had become virtually obsolete; even to the extent that newer automobiles were not even being equipped with cassette players anymore. We knew that it was possible to create audio compact disks from material originally recorded on magnetic tape, but we had neither the expertise nor the equipment to effect this transmogrification! Again, we went out to our Sherlockian friends on the internet. Offers from friends with more knowledge than we had, not to mention better equipment, were gratefully received. With the absolutely indispensable assistance of our Sherlockian friends Sandra Wolf, Kay Sturm, John Roach and Roger Johnson we can now bring you this musical collection on a modern compact disk and identify each of the selections properly (at least as properly as Mr. Smith-Masters originally identified them). We offer our most sincere thanks to all our Sherlockian friends who made this CD possible. BTW, everyone who has heard the CD has commented on the remarkable quality of the sound. We, certainly, would never guess that it was a recording made some 20 years ago on magnetic tape or that such a recording could be re-mastered this well. We think that you will find really pleasant listening here.

Fixed Point: The Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes
NOW ON CD!

"Sherlock Holmes is Dead!" So begins Mr. David Stuart Davies' marvelous play, "Fixed Point." The Scene: an aging Dr. Watson is spending his final days in a nursing home confined to a wheelchair. The Action: Dr. Watson's final remembrances and thoughts as he relates them to a young newspaper reporter named, appropriately enough, Murray. Mr. Davies' manuscript originally recorded these final moments, but now, Mr. Meredith Granger has arranged for us to live those moments along with Dr. Watson by producing "Fixed Point" as a professional audio drama! Mr. Granger assembled and directed a collection of fine actors and actresses at the University of Indianapolis where the drama was actually performed, recorded, and mixed into this exceptional audio dramatic adaptation of the original play. Professionally recorded in remarkably vivid stereo, "Fixed Point" envelops the listener in both the environs and the sensations of Dr. Watson's final recollections. We here at Classic Specialties have listened to this fine audio drama many times and have never yet finished it with a dry eye. We urge you not to miss this exceptional production. Repeated listenings will always reveal some new subtlety which Mr. Granger has built into the production. "Fixed Point on CD" is delivered to you hard, transparent plastic case so you can see the very attractive graphic.

Sherlock Through the Magnifying Glass: A Female Perspective
To tell you the truth, we hadn't listened to this recording for quite a while until we just converted from the original magnetic tape to a CD. We found ourselves to be just as entranced by Ms. Venessa Maroney's performance of David Stuart Davies Sherlock Through the Magnifying Glass: A Female Perspective as we had been when the recording was originally made. Ms. Maroney does an absolutely splinded presentation! What did the women in Sherlock Holmes' life really think of him? Ms. Maroney, an accomplished Washington, D.C. actress and renowned recording artist, begins with an insightful reading of Ms. Catherine Cooke's erudite analysis of the relationships between Mr. Holmes and all of the major canonical women. She then continues by assuming the identities of Irene Adler; Mary Morstan (Mrs. Watson); the "unknown lady" (survivor of that dreadful encounter with Charles Augustus Milverton); and Carrie Trevor, whose association with Mr. Holmes seems to have been more tender than casual. We would be most astonished if you do not chuckle at Irene Adler's account of "Scandal in Bohemia," or become misty-eyed as Carrie Trevor remembers her romance with a young Sherlock Holmes. Don't miss this remarkable audio drama. There has never been anything like it in the annals of Sherlockian literature. A professionally recorded CD; playing time just a few minutes over an hour.

Trilogy? We have no idea why!! (you see, it contains four CDs)

Sherlock Holmes Railway Trilogy
Which contains 4 CDs!!!
(including one of the late Val Andrews' last pastiches)

Experience has taught us that Sherlockians are bibliophiles. We love reading books and stashing them on our bookshelves, but we can't read all the time. Think about all the time we spend in out cars, for example. We can't read (or, at least, shouldn't) while driving. How about popping one of these CDs into the player and enjoying the drive? The feature disk contains Val Andrews' The Prince of Ventriloquists - one of his last works. Since this set of disks has been shipped to us from Britain's famous Special Irregular Railway Company, the other three recordings (oh, maybe that's where the "trilogy" comes from) are devoted to Sherlockian cases in which trains played important roles; one ripping good original pastiche taken from the Railway Company's archieves entitled The Pullman Theft and two canonical tales, viz., Bruce Partington Plans, and The Final Problem. Four hours of Sherlockian listening pleasure!! BTW, the last three of these were read by Miles Richardson, son of Ian Richardson - a simply great narrator!

Sherlock Holmes: A Death at the Cricket
An Audio Presentation on CD

Cricket is as quintessentially English as is Sherlock Holmes, so what better than an adventure combining these two elements. Indeed Conan Doyle himself was a keen cricketer and a member of the M.C.C. and to his credit had the honour of bowling out W. G. Grace on one occasion. This adventure reunites Watson with his hospital dresser, Stamford, who was responsible for introducing the former to Holmes in A Study in Scarlet. Freddie Trueman, Yorkshireman and the greatest fast bowler of his generation, said of A Death at the Cricket – "this story really brings to life the big country cricket matches of the 19th century".

The Shadow Knows!!

As Old time Radio buffs, ourselves, we always hate to pass up items like this when they become available, even though they aren't Sherlockian. We know that there are some among our readers who love these classic radio "thrillers" as much as we do. This collection, originally assembled by Radio Spirits, is the only collection that we know of that offers the listener the opportunity to hear, and compare, the performances of three of the best known portrayers of that super-sleuth who had the power to cloud men's minds so that he was never seen, only heard, viz., Orson Welles, Bill Johnstone, and Bret Morrison. The collection contains 24 individual episodes of The Shadow on 12 professionally recorded CDs.

Remember: "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows!"

For
Lovers of Public Broadcast TV
Mystery! Series

Inspector Lynley Mysteries: A Great Deliverance

This is the production that introduces the TV audience to the characters Inspector Thomas Lynley (Nathaniel Parker) and Sgt. Barbara Havers (Sharon Small). This is an unlikely and unwieldy pair of crime fighters. The Inspector is refined, well-heeled and sophisticated. Sgt. Havers is a gritty, rumpled, and working-class woman and, as far as the Inspector is concerned, she is indecipherable. This case takes the Inspector and the Sgt. To a peaceful country village to investigate the discovery of a decapitated corpse! It would appear that the village isn’t as peaceful as it seemed! Suspects range from a suspicious villager with a shady past and weak alibi to the deceased’s ex-wife and even to his daughter who was found next to her father’s corpse! A gripping three-hour murder mystery with abundant opportunities for nail biting. Program is presented in DVD format.

Second Sight I

“. . .top drawer” (Houston Chronicle)
“. . . top notch” (Orlando Sentinel)

What would Sherlock Holmes have been like if he had lost his eysight? The brilliant and insightful detective in the PBS series, Second Sight, might give us a clue! Ross Tanner is a “hotshot” police detective who is desperately trying to conceal a terrifying secret . . . he is losing his eyesight! Detective Catherine Tully becomes aware of her partner’s problem and forms, with him, an uneasy alliance. She will be his eyes and Tanner learns that insight can prevail over eyesight as they begin their odd association with the investigation of the apparently motiveless murder of a 19-year old college student. Stars Clive Owen and Claire Skinner. 180 minutes on one DVD disc. From WGBH—as seen on your Public TV station!!

Attend St. Louis' Weekend at Baskerville Hall
even if you couldn't be there!!
Weekend at Baskerville Hall insert
Everyone in attendance at the Westport Plaza hotel was a descendant of Sir Henry Baskerville! There was something for every Sherlockian taste ranging from pub chow and chatter, through delightful Sherlockian whimsy, to learned presentations. The program even included a serious literary discussion panel by noted mystery authors John Lutz, Francis Nevins, Jr. and Robert Randisi. Meet, on these recordings, famous Sherlockians Barb Roscoe, Jessica Young, Brad Keefauver, Gordon Speck, Joe Eckrich, Greg Sullivan, Peter Crupe, Roy Pilot, David Hammer, and many others. Bill Cochran's discourse "Irregular Spirits" on playing the game is a "must" for every Sherlockian, whether seasoned or neophyte. Rosemary Michaud's poetry (a toast to The Hound) and song (Poor Sir Henry) are utter delights. And then - that great Baskervillian country-western ballad, I Wanna be the Hound, (adapted from I Wanna be a Dawg, copyright 1998, Werblow, Atkins, & Bryan, Vital Organs Music) should be in every Sherlockian's music library! The entire weekend was respectfully dedicated to the memory of that great St. Louis Sherlockian, Art Schroeder, who died on August 26, 1999 after a protracted illness.

Art's Audio: "The Double-Good Fortune of Mr. Henry Baker and His Lucky Goose" and
"The Forgotten Victim" — Audio Cassette

Photo of Art's Audio J Card Front
The late Art Schroeder had one of the most creative minds that it has ever been our pleasure to encounter. He also had a keen, albeit a tad unusual, sense of humor. In "Mr. Henry Baker and His Lucky Goose," Mary Schroeder gives a performance worthy of an Academy Award. Imagine, too - a battered, abandoned safe, once belonging to Grimesby Roylott, is unearthed and forced opened to reveal some serpentine remains ("The Forgotten Victim"). Scratched on the walls is an array of mysterious glyphs, and, therefrom, unfolds the tragic tale! Mary Schroeder actually tops her performance as Mrs. Henry Baker in the demanding and sensitive role of the famous Indian Swamp Adder. Dr. Schroeder is aided by an all-star cast of eminent Sherlockians! Barbara Roscoe's performance as "Bubbles" is truly priceless! Art's audio "dramas" are delivered to you on a C-90 audiocassette in a Norelco box. PG rated; Language; Dr. Watson is predisposed to deliver a few Anglo Saxon expletives.

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST — THE AUDIO

Listening to Mr. Ronald Weyman narrate his own novel is the next best thing to being invited into Dr. Watson's sitting room for the spinning of a personal Holmesian "reminiscence." The Baker Street Journal characterized this pastiche as "...well-written...engaging...a ripping good yarn." Mr. Weyman's writing and reading styles preserve a remarkably authentic "Watsonian" atmosphere. A true-to-type cast of characters, including sea captains, German agents, colorful French-Canadian and Irish personalities, and a beautiful woman ("...delicate, sensitive...a creature not of this world of common mortals.") escort the listener from London, across the Atlantic on a Cunard liner, up the St. Lawrence to Montreal. The Mark of the Beast is a spy thriller in which murder, Hiram Maxim (famous inventor of the machine gun), the Fenians, French-Canadian separatists, plots against the existence of The Empire, (indeed, against the very social and political order of the world!), and a variety of historically and scientifically accurate affairs of the late 19th century are interwoven into a riveting Sherlock Holmes mystery set during The Great Hiatus. Complete and unabridged (320 minutes) and delivered in a vinyl storage case with graphics from the original book.
