They are the original broadcasts, with the exception of the bit between
the landing of the Heart of Gold on Magrathea and the entry of Zaphod
et al. into the underground tunnels.  Presumably this is to avoid copyright
problems with Pink Floyd.  The cut works surprisingly well, but you miss the
line "Oh, and watch out for all the bits of whalemeat".

To be precise, the tapes are the second broadcast of the first series,
with the changes to the voices of the mice that only truly hip people
like me know about:-)

The sound quality of the tapes is good; much better than my mono
tapes recorded from the radio.  Presumably the CD's are good
quality too.

The price of the 6 tapes is 25 pounds.  I don't know about the
CDs.
