X MINUS 1 Volume 1 - 11 Shows 5 CDs! Item# SciFi4 Price: $9.99   ATTENTION! OLD TIME RADIO AND SCI-FI FANS! Tired of the daily visual effects of movies….Wanna take a break from it all…Want to have your ears tell you the tales.. You need… X MINUS 1 - Volume 1... 11 Thrilling Tales! This is a 5-CD set that has the first 11 shows from the popular Sci-Fi radio serial from the 1950s! Broadcast from 4/24/55 to 1/9/58, this was the fifth, final, and most successful of the old radio scifi series. This series stands above all others as the ultimate radio science fiction series. Most shows are by Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Bradbury, and Anderson. Many scripts from "Dimension X" were reused, but, the series is mostly new material. Unlike previous and later U.S. science fiction series, X-1 tried to really emphasize the “sense-of-wonder” aspect of early science fiction. So much is now known about the nearer planets and science in general, that scifi’s fantasies about such things as living on other worlds and being able to quickly get around the Universe, seem increasingly unlikely. This series takes us back to the time when we still believed that anything was possible.
