Yeah!...I didn't know myself until a couple of years ago, and once I did, I had to get my hands on some sort of copy (which was a 1996 cassette reissue...goon enough!). Also, check out Chapters 8-9 here! th-cam.com/video/gIEiVGpxRE0/w-d-xo.html
Burgess reading this himself is a treat... and terrifying. You really get the sense of a much older Alex looking back on his youth with way too much pleasure. It's like the old fart at the bar starts talking and you find out he used to be in the Klan.
Yeah, I get that feeling whenever I listen to this. There's also more, where he reads Chapters 8 & 9: th-cam.com/video/gIEiVGpxRE0/w-d-xo.html Makes you wish he had narrated the entire thing!
Alot of the words are made up. Burgess was like the shakesphere or how ever that trendy fuck is spelled. He literally invented his own slang language to represent what he imagined low life thugs would talk and act like as society deteriorated.
1975.. Rialto theater in Berkley CA.. 4 small movie theater's , they played lot's of odd and controversial films of the day .. They let you smoke weed in there .. We went to see CO many times.. O my brother's..
This is an amazing treat! I didn’t even know this existed!

Burgess always had northern (UK) accents in mind for the droogs. Great to hear it read as the author wished.
I didn't think it was possible for this to be made more "British" than it already was!
They had northern english accents in the film did they not? at least Malcolm Mcdowell did

Anthony Burgess reads "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" (1973)
I’m really surprised theres barely any audio readings on youtube about clockwork orange. I had to search deep just to find this.
and its just 3 chapters
Here's the other album-side: th-cam.com/video/gIEiVGpxRE0/w-d-xo.html
I don't understand half the words, but I get the jist
Truly how reading this felt like

Early copies of the book had a "glossary"/index in the back of it that roughly translated the "nadsat" words that appear throughout the book.
Thank you so much! I'm a huge Burgess fan and this is a real gem for me!
