Heart of Darkness: clean copy? - Heart of darkness: clean broadcast?

[Tony]

I have a cd of the 1938 Heart of Darkness" which is of wretched quality (and which I think is the same as on the Mercury site); does anyone know if there exists a clean copy?

[Terry]

I know my copy sounds rather raw. The 1946 show is clean, but not the 1938 one.

Well, at least it is not a lost show.

2006 post from French Welles scholar Francois Thomas, author of "Orson Welles at Work":

I used to buy dozens of audio tapes of Welles's radio shows from Ted Davenport's Radio Memories :

It has recently changed to Audio Classics Archive but the services provided are apparently the same. My tape of the 1938 radio show of Heart of Darkness is quite good, as I recall. You should try that.

There are a lot of old time radio sites: old-time.com, otr.net, otr.com, otrcat.com . . . From them you can find many vendors that offer Welles's shows on tape, CD or MP3. But Radio Memories never failed me, and I received the tapes in Paris, France a few days after I ordered them.

That would be the same supplier that I just linked to in the MISC. folder, "New Source" post.
