A WARNING TO THE CURIOUS

With Hallowe’en just around the corner, I thought I’d upload something appropriately spooky. So here’s the soundtrack to the greatest of the BBC’s "Ghost Story for Christmas" series. These are all the original recordings used in the film.

Mediafire was playing up (possibly grumbling about copyright) so I had to nest the files within multiple zip folders before it would obey me.

Don’t listen in the dark, whatever you do. Oh, and remember…

NO DIGGING ‘ERE!

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Thanks very much for this.

Sounds interesting, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Thank you. 🙂

thanks

Big thanks for this, my favourite M R James adaptation. Please tell Mr Ager that I have no intention of digging for his crown, so he need not disturb my train journey.

Thanks Funky, you like LEGO space classic 😉

Thank you.

Hey, I think I have this story! But mine is a more recent BBC broadcast, like the last 5-10 years.

And my copy is mere mp3. Your upload is LOOSELESS!

Still, it is a good story.

Thanks for posting this Funky1!

Thank you

Thanks! This is a great addition for the season.

Sounds spooky….

Thank you!!!

Thanks guys!

Thanks!

Re: your ‘unknowns’ – part of the music just around the 27’00" mark sounds a bit like Penderecki’s "De Natura Sonoris No. 2". It could be a performance other than the one I’m familiar with, which has amplified percussion.

Thanks!

Ah, fantastic! I’ve had a quick google – the track was apparently only written in 1971 (just in time!) which means there are only a couple of candidate recordings. I’m a little tied up right now, but will report back in a few days…

Thank you very much!

Thank you SO much for this!

I will give this a wee listen today in remembrance of Peter Vaughan who sadly passed away this morning, aged 93. RIP Grouty.

My custom cover –

Super stuff – many thanks Funky1&2. The files and info you’ve put together is fantastic 🙂

Thanks too for the custom cover Vertigo2016!

These BBC adaptations of M.R. James stories are great and Peter Vaughan is wonderful as always in this one.
He was brilliant as Grouty and I loved him as Winston the Ogre in Time Bandits…

Could someone please re-up?

Link resurrected!

(And thanks for the great cover, vertigo!)

Thank you

Epic. Thanks.
