Description

 "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption", a novella by Stephen King (1982), originally published in Different Seasons.Narrated by Frank Muller.Unabridged, 3 audio cassettes, 4.5 hours. Recorded Books Inc. ISBN 1-55690-432-0I could not find this recording in digital format,so I converted my copy of this recording to MP3.From audio cassette (Nakamichi Dragon) to CD (Pioneer PDR-555RW) to MP3 (iTunes 8, 96kbps VBR).Dolby NR was NOT used, so there is tape hiss.Some might say it's brighter without it, and more muddled with it... you can post-process orequalize to your liking. I think I prefer it with Dolby B enabled on the deck (as was done with myrecording of Catch-22).Frank Muller is (was), in my opinion, the best bookon tape reader, ever. Stephen King was quoted saying(something to the effect) that sometimes when he wrote, he heard Frank Muller's voice reading it.(His reading of "Hunt for Red October" is incredible.)The back cover if this recording includes the quote:"I've written a book and I hope Frank Muller will read it.He will do such a fantastic job that the blind will see..."--Stephen KingThe novella was adapted for the screen in the film The Shawshank Redemption.Cheers, FerraBitJanuary 2009
