These old fashioned 1967 sexton Blake's are great for a lazy dark Sunday afternoon of thrills spills & plenty of good old fashioned policing.
Ordered by accident, not normally my scene but glad I did for they are like a good old black 'n' white movie.

"There's nothing foolish in being murdered Charlie" This is the smooth talking Mr Blake, all suit & wit, Mr Cool.

Soundtrack is perfect no crackles or hisses, perfectly clear. The recordings can not be faulted.

Excellent 60's Escapism
