Sylvester McCoy, a beloved Scottish character actor best known as the seventh incarnation of TV’s Doctor Who and for his role in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit movies, joins Bleak December’s new offering – a full-cast and lushly-scored audio adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic ghost story, The Signalman. Mr. McCoy (who has enjoyed a long and successful career as a variety performer and actor on stage, TV and in film) portrays the titular character, who is haunted by a mysterious presence whose appearances forewarn of impending tragedy.
On his becoming The Signalman for Bleak December, Sylvester shares:
“The reason why I wanted to do this is… well firstly – Charles Dickens, who is one of the great writers, and who in many ways told my story, because I was an orphan boy. Oliver Twist I associated with, also other characters in his tales… When I was a child, I used to sit in front of an open fire watching black and white television, and there was a great program on called Tall Story Club – and there they sat around and told ghost stories, and I loved it! And it’s just such a privilege to be able to sit here, and in my imagination hear the crackle of the fire, and tell my ghost story to you…”

The record has obviously been played, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light blemish. Sleeve may have some very minor wear to faces, edges or corners of covers.

·        Very Good  [ VG ]  A well cared for used record. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have scuffs or light scratches. May have some very light surface noise or isolated crackles and pops.  Labels may be marked lightly. Sleeve may have some ring wear, moderate wear to edges and corners, light creases or stress lines, and other minor defects.
