THE UNFINISHED SPELLING ERRORS OF BOLKIEN: being a three part musical
synopsis of book and film, with nine new songs and a LOTR nonsense
from Martin Pearson.2 CD set. Costs $40 for 1set, 2 sets, $70, 3
sets $90. E-mail martinpearson@iinet.net.au, or post a cheque or
money order to Martin Pearson PO Box 2373, Richmond South VIC 3121
Thumbnail review: This 2 CD set was recorded in front of a live
audience of Martin Pearson fans, many of whom have heard this
performance before, and aren't at all adverse to a bit of audience
participation as Pearson narrates and sings his way through the LOTR
classic. Think Folk music meets filking. Think late at night at a
really good con when everyone's feeling mellow and one of the guest
speakers is holding court and leaving everyone in stitches, and you
get the idea. Much of this month's Bullsheet was compiled while this
CD was playing in the background.
