Audiobooks - Can anyone help?

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if any of you Bondians can help me.....

I've been desperately trying to find an audiobook/recording of Icebreaker & Role of Honour for my father. He is partially blind and finds it very hard to read. I recently obtained him the audios of Licence Renewed & Special Services, which he really enjoyed... but I have hit a brick wall in finding the next in set. I've found book #5....... but I'd like to try and get them in order.

Can anyone tell me if they exist?

Thanks to anyone out there who can help!

    Thanks, that's a really useful and interesting article...

    but I can't find copies of the audiobooks anywhere online. They must be out of circulation.
    I'm trying to find someone who has books 3 & 4.....

    Is there anyone out there who can help????

    Hello. Have you tried you tube? There are loads of JB continuation novels on there & if you use the free youtubedownloader programme you can, well, download them.

    That's how I got my collection of Fleming audiobooks.

    Hi There ,

    Yes... I've managed to get pretty much most of them.... barring these two and 'Doubleshot' (which apparently was never done in audiobook format)

    Icebreaker & Role of Honour I simply can't find anywhere.....

    Hi, yes, that member is candyman2 and I myself purchased discs from him of the Fleming books, plus a couple of Gardners (Nobody Lives Forever and the License to Kill novelization), all read by David Rintoul for a total of 16 books. I don't remember how much he charged, except that I thought the price was a bargain. He can be reached here via PM.

    Yes, I too bought from him, I might be wrong but at the time I think it
    Was £15, which was indeed a bargin. I now keep a few on my mp3 player
    Great when out walking etc. -{

    Hello,

    Do you know where I might be able to get hold of a copy of the David Rintoul audiobooks?

    Thanks.

    Hi Rintoul16, I will pm you with the info from the seller, but I'm not sure how current it will be.

    Hi, I would also like to track down a copy of the David Rintoul recordings if anyone still has physical or digital copies. I have all the current versions from Audible that were recorded by a different narrator, and an incomplete collection of David Rintoul narrations, but I would like to fill in gaps in my collection if at all possible, as David Rintoul was an awesome narrator, it's a real shame that these recordings were taken out of circulation. If anyone can help I would really appreciate a PM with any details you can provide. Thanks so much

    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...

    • Casino Royale (CD Rip)
    • Live and Let Die (CD Rip)
    • Moonraker (Cassette Rip)
    • Diamonds Are Forever (CD Rip)
    • From Russia With Love (CD Rip)
    • Dr. No (Cassette Rip)
    • Goldfinger (CD Rip)
    • For You Eyes Only (Cassette Rip)
    • Thunderball (CD Rip)
    • The Spy Who Loved Me (Read by Ruala Lenska) (CD Rip)
    • On Her Majesty's Secret Service (CD Rip)
    • You Only Live Twice (Cassette Rip)
    • The Man With The Golden Gun (CD Rip)
    • Octopussy & The Living Daylights (CD Rip)


    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.

    I have a full set of the audio cassettes been on my shelf for years. Would be happy to pass them on for safe keeping.
