I would like to bump this thread since I'm looking for these audiobooks too if anyone has any copies or mp3s. The only ones I can find are Live and Let Die, Diamonds are Forever and You Only Live Twice that someone uploaded to Youtube but the others are practically lost media at this point.
Here's the Chivers cassette artwork for anyone that wants them. I've used Photoshop to clean up these images (which were already available online) and I've also used some AI to enhance them slightly.
I'll upload the enhanced CD artwork shortly.
Some of the images were poor quality to begin with and are still quite poor. If anyone has higher quality scans then please feel free to share them.
These are nice! I love the last 2, not seen them before.
I am still actively working on this, the collection of mp3's I have, I update whenever I come across a better copy. It started out as all cassette tape sources but I now bought 4 CD versions that I have ripped at 320kbp.
Greetings all. Like everyone else it seems, I have looked high and low for audiobooks of Licence Renewed and For Special Services. I have all the other books but those two. Does anyone know a location for them? I had a friend in AU try to send them to me via Audible but since I am U.S. based, was not allowed to receive them for some reason.
I wanted to reach out because I've been looking everywhere for the James Bond audiobooks read by David Rintoul and saw your post. Do you think I might be able to get access to those files to download them? Thank you so much for all your efforts. Take care. I've sent you a message.

I've been building this Chivers/Rintoul collection via my local library and extremely generous board members.
As these recordings are almost forty years old, they have become increasingly hard to find.
My goal is to preserve these recordings at the highest possible quality and to make them available to any Bond fans who might like to enjoy them.
So far I have...
Happy to help anyone who might be missing any of these and would love to hear from anyone who might help me with replacing cassette rips with CD rips.
Hi would it be possible that you can send me mp3s of the ones you have? I would gladly appreciate it

Alternative artwork for From Russia With Love and Goldfinger.
Both used by Chivers for their 'Large Print' editions.

I will upload the CD artwork I have if you like?
Upload the CD artwork whenever you get a chance.
I've always preferred the cassette artwork myself but it's important to makes both versions avaliable to fans of these recordings.
Yes agreed, I will scan then this week.
Hi there, also looking for the David Rintoul's reading of Dr. No.
Anyone have the mp3's and can drop them on dropbox?
