comment |
Billed Above the Title: The covers of the original LP sleeves each describe their contents by listing the author's name, the title (or series title, then story title), and then the narrator at the top of the sleeve, leaving plenty of room for the cover design. |

comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Many of the stories are abridged from their normal length. The Martian Chronicles suffers the most, getting shortened to "There Will Come Soft Rains" and "Usher II". |
