More than a Special Edition
What everyone is overlooking is that this 50th Anniversary leather bound edition of the First 12 LGB's was made by Western Publishing as a gift to retail executives.They were given as gifts to a select few at that year's Toy Fair. A few remaining sets were sold to employees for $80 a set back in the 90's.

The boxes are numbered.I don't remember the total produced, maybe 2500.

These books were meticulously recreated using the same plates, same presses as the originals created in 1942, including the colored edges.These are LGB treasures and are way under-priced.Where is Steve Santi when you need him. ... Read more

Product Description
The Renaissance Theatre Company presents an extraordinary new production of King Lear. With Sir John Gielgud as Lear, Kenneth Branagh as Edmond, and Emma Thompson as Cordelia, this stellar cast illuminates the terrible consequences of one man's decision to defy the dictates of time and nature in a brilliant, ensemble performance. Embodying some of the most profoundly moving expressions of power corrupted, of love and loyalty betrayed, and of man himself betrayed by age and folly, this production of King Lear sweeps the listener into a majestic maelstrom of love and hate, death and madness. This clear and subtly nuanced dramatization combines a full cast with an outstanding musical score and full sound effects, bringing this magnificent Shakespearean classic vividly to life. ...

An excellent performance
I was fortunate in that I duplicated my copy of these audio cassettes to CD before finally wearing them out!

This is an excellent performance, and it has been the standard by which every other production of Lear has been judged, at least for me.I've lost the cast notes, so I can't tell you who the person who played the Fool was, sadly, but the exchanges between him and Gielgud are letter perfect.

As I write this, Amazon lists the performance as being out of stock with no listing on when they expect more copies in, and I've not found CD reproductions anywhere.I can only hope others can find duplicates out there, as it would be tragic for such a fine performance to have been lost. ...
