- This collection includes all of the JRRT-read material on the three Caedmon LPs with one exception: a later (1967) reading of "Ai! laurië lantar" (spoken version) replaces an earlier version with slightly different text that appeared on the LP. The CDs add two additional 1967 readings: "Errantry" and "Princess Mee."
