I have only 30 MR titles left to acquire, but winning them would allow me to spend my BF funds elsewhere.
I would have voted for "Equilibrium" but it didn't make the list.

I have them all already (and have listened to them all as well!) so I didn't bother to enter after voting... hope that someone wins that will need/appreciate them.

A couple of years ago I found a bunch oh titles on cassette in a shop in Brighton. I mentioned it on TOF [RIP] and I seem to recall Gary Russell coming back with some reminiscences

Well I'm about 760 quid away from being caught up so me winning would certainly save me a bit of dosh. I picked chimes out of the 10 I've listened to Even if I don't win I won't be spending money on the main range so I might have the money to get caught up anyway so I might end getting it at the end of the month even if I don't win but hopefully I won't need to get my wallet out

While visiting specialist shop Galaxy 4, earlier this year I noticed they had cassette copies of Fires of Vulcan and Shadow of the Scourge and bought them (as I didn't have either). (also picked up some other early releases including a couple of signed copies) Later, on the other side of Sheffield, I found a CD copy of Fires of Vulcan and bought that (unfortunately their box for flip flop was empty)

I voted but did not enter (as I have them all in CD, cassette, or download form already ... though still a lot to listen to [including 4 on the list]) 6 of my 20 votes from round 1 in July/August made it through Which 4?

one for each Doctor I'm still gradually working my way through the 7, Ace & Hex and have not yet listened to A Death in the Family my 5 and Erimem listen through has not yet reached Kingmaker my 8 and Charlie listen through has yet to reach the Girl who never was and I haven't yet listened to the Wrong Doctors (instead focussing on the Peri or Evelyn stories) (I'm not going to list the other 70 of the first 200 that I have yet to listen to)

Ended up going with Chimes
1) It's a great story 2) I think it's a good introductory audio to someone new to Big Finish 3) In my opinion it uses the audio medium to the fullest 4) It actually made me cry over a side character 5) Its perfect to listen to during the Holidays

out of curiosity I decided to check to see which releases would have made it if it was based on ********** ratings rather than votes the problem with such an approach is most multi-story releases have separate ratings for each story - to keep it simple I disqualified them. Out of the remaining releases 11 had changed (2 may be because I disqualified Circular Time and Company of Friends) The 11 were the Marian Conspiracy, Master, Live 34, Son of the Dragon, The Condemned, the Magic Mousetrap,the architects of history, protect and survive, gods and monsters, the widow's assassin and Masters of Earth
(by coincidence I had voted for 7 of them and had not heard the other 4 at the time of the vote)

I have a very snazzy Sony TCM 450 to listen to them on, I love my cassette corder! I'm also in Sheffield and can be found on some Saturday afternoons hanging around near the BF section in The Sheffield Space Centre!

I voted for "Fanfare for the Common Men", because it's one of those releases that always puts a smile on my face and just makes me happy. I'm only missing about 25 releases (182-200 and a few odd ones here and there), but it would still free me up to spend my Big Finish budget on other ranges, so...

I definitely rate that as a recent classic
