although, paradoxically, it's the radio version not the vinyl version!
(Actually, has anybody ever heard the re-recorded LP versions of the first radio series?)

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

My brother had it. It was on fairly high rotation at our place for a while but I couldn't tell you the exact differences between it and the original as I only heard the radio story once (it was the dark ages of the late-70s) |

I've got the cassettes of the LP version, the first audio drama I ever heard by a long way, and it's probably my favourite version of Hitchhikers. I really need to rip them to mp3 one day, I gather there's no CD or digital version available out there.

From 1988- 1991 I used to listen to the 2 original vinyls every night before I crashed for bed. that was my proper full introduction to audio adventures stories (if you don't count the 1980 Flinstones meets the circus cassette I had LOL)

I really need to rip them to mp3 one day, I gather there's no CD or digital version available out there. Snap! I remember they were quite expensive on release (for me still at school back in 79/80 anyway) but I never regretted buying them.
It's a much better version of series 1 than the original radio series imo, for one thing the early scenes on Earth are much shorter and a lot of the local government satire is cut so we can get on with the adventure! And the sound design is excellent.
I came into Hitchhikers with series 2, so for me the LP version was series 1. When I eventually heard the 'real' series 1 as broadcast, it didn't come close.

Hitch Hiker on vinyl... a sentence that takes me back to very happy times.
