Description

One record to rule them all !! Forged not in the fires of Mount Doom, but in the studios of Caedmon Records, this rare vinyl captures the very voice of the One Who Wrote It All. Speak, friend, and press play Tolkien himself awaits, reading and singing the legends of Middle-earth like no other ever could.


A true Middle-earth artifact ; J.R.R. Tolkien himself reading and singing from The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Issued by Caedmon Records in the 1970s, this LP captures Tolkien’s own voice performing his legendary prose and poetry, including passages in Elvish.


Label: Caedmon Records TC 1478

Year: c. 1975

Format: 12” Stereo LP


Condition Notes:

• Vinyl: VG – surface is glossy with a few visible scuffs; play-tested and sounds great with light cleaning recommended.

• Cover: G+ – noticeable split along the spine, shelfwear, and edge aging.

• Sleeve: Not included (no inner sleeve).

must-have for Tolkien fans, linguists, fantasy collectors, and anyone who wants to hear the master of Middle-earth deliver his own words. These don’t pop up often — especially not with playable vinyl.
