I heard this radio show when it was being aired... oh sooooo many years ago. It takes a little concentration and a love of dead pan comedy to really appreciate the concepts. My younger brother thought it was too dry and consequently boring. I am almost finished listening to it once again and love the experience. Not something to play for background music. You really must LISTEN to the dialog or you miss the whole thing. I had it on cassette tape but now I have it forever... Thanks for the mental excursion.

Beyond description!

I first heard Fourth Tower in the early 80's on a local radio station. It was immediately one of my favorite things in the world, and I sought a copy for years. Finding a CD copy was even better!
So what is it? Part mystery, part fantasy, it concerns Jack Flanders and his search for the Fourth Tower, which only appears at mysterious times and may or may not even be enterable. At the Inverness estate there are a cast of true characters, including Lord and Lady Jowels, Little Frieda (a cigar smoking little firl), Far Seeing Art, the Madonna Vampira, and let's not foprget the Wurlitzer of Wisdom, where 25 cents gets you snippets from Ram Dass' tapes. If it sounds a bit like a toned down Firesign Theatre, you'd be right. If it sounds like great fun, you'd be right again!

Great old-time radio drama!

This radio series takes me back to 1972 when I was a freshman in college. Like so many students, it was my habit to stay up late listening to our student radio station while studying. Each night they aired an episode that was so fascinating. I identified with Jack Flanders as he made his way to the Fourth Tower seeking the legendary Lotus Jukebox. Along his journey I was introduced by a unique and intriguing cast of characters. So, sit back, close your eyes, and imagine yourself transformed into Jack's adventure!

stop reading now and buy it....

There's nothing else like this, except Moon Over Morocco, the more or less sequel to 4th Tower. If you want to be swept away into another world, put on good headphones, turn off your phone, cellphone, computer, etc., and enter another reality. Everything reviewers have said is true, but nothing can express how good this is. Buy it and listen over and over..... owoooooo, return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, to Inverness Mansion, the house with doors hinged on time, windows like a thousand eyes turned inwards....

Excellent fun and philosophy

I first heard this over public radio years ago when I was just a kid. I was so delighted to find it on Amazon last week. Hearing it both took me back to childhood and, even better, now I get a lot more out of it. My whole family is huddled around the CD player at night. Not quite the same as radio, but at least my children are getting a taste of radio drama.
