largely visual entertainment. They have overcome this splendidly. Not only is the full narration, which explains and introduces the events on stage included on the record, but a special booklet is also included which explains the story in detail. Also in the booklet is an introduction by John Ford which gives something of the background to the production. Finally as an added help to following the story-line the booklet gives the narrator's script interspersed with the names of the various items. Inside the double cover is a black and white photograph of the Bowl of Brooklands which shows its setting to advantage. The front cover is a spectacular night shot of the floodlit bowl with the entire cast in action on stage. Considering the outdoor setting and the dispersion of the cast over the huge stage, HMV microphones have caught with remarkable fidelity the singing, chants and haka. In so doing they have preserved on record the authentic flavour of a moving and spectacular entertainment.
