I own this tape set.....and boy, when you say "drunken..." you're not kidding!! As for the rarest item? I once belonged to a tape club that sold pre-recorded movies on 8 MM video...I have all three of the Indy films on pre-recorded 8MM!!! (NM)

In Reply to: Last Crusade Novelization on Tape -- Anyone heard it? posted by Brett (Maverick) Lambert on May 14, 2000 at 19:00:43:

: On Thursday night, me and my brother were out at the library looking
: at books and things like all the cool kids do. Bwa ha ha! :)
: Anyways, as we were looking around, James stumbled upon a "Indiana
: Jones and the Last Crusade Book on Tape" where basically some drunk
: old man reads the book and it gets recorded and sold to people who are
: too lazy to read (i.e. bud-arc). So I say "what the hell?" and I take
: it out of the library. It was voiced by William Conrad. I must say,
: it's rather terrible!! Those Books on tape are very pitiful. They
: don't show any emotion, no sound effects, no different voices, just
: you and William Conrad for like 4 hours reading along to Indiana Jones
: and the Last Crusade, and basically he just butchers it. They should
: have done a Radio Drama instead. Those things are much better then
: listening to some corpse making Indy's brilliant adventures sound
: worse then "Bud-arc's Family Vacation Slideshow" (man THAT was
: boring). If you find it, take it out of the library at your own risk.
: :)

: P.S. Sorry about you being the butt of my jokes, bud-arc. No hard
: feelings buddy? You know I was joking. You accept? GOOD!!! :D
: P.P.S. There was however ONE interesting thing about the novelization.
: In the scene where Indy is in his office looking at the mail and other
: materials on the desk, it said that he had some copies of "Esquire"
: magazine. Cool!! Indy's the man! It kinda makes you wonder, if this
: were the 90s, would he be checking out "Maxim" magazine? He probably
: would.
