There have been many versions of this piece, but Basil Rathbone's reading is my favorite, and Stokowski provides brilliant characterizations with his orchestra. A gem, and very well transferred and digitized. Bravo!
Agreed! I grew up with the Disney/Sterling Holloway version but I like this quite a bit. I think I'm going to seek out Basil's Sherlock now (though Benedict Cumberbatch is the best!). It took a lot of work to get it cleaned up - appreciate the comment :)

Basil Rathbone was a great actor who perfectly manage on screen any character he created.

You were listening to shellac records as a kid? I didn't think you were that old ;)
