J.R.R. Tolkien Lost Audio Recording & Poem Discovered Posted at 8:40 PM by Dave Post

J. R. R. TolkienIt seems a Tolkien fan in Rotterdam found an unknown to exist reel-to-reel recording of Professor Tolkien talking to fans at a huge dinner party thrown in his honor in 1958. The fan kept it hidden in his private collection for 20 years before being talked into releasing it. Now it’s being re-mastered by Middle-earth Network and Legendarium Media and will be made available to us next fall. Details are sketchy at the moment but they have provided a production blog and registration so you can get up to date info as they release it.

The Huffington Post has the story of the origin and discovery of the missing audio file that will whet your appetite more than the wicked-short snippet above so be sure to check that out.

Thanks to WWEnder Stephen Poltz for letting us know about this interesting development in the Tolkien Universe.  I am eagerly awaiting more information and we’ll post any major news on this project as we can.
