"The Diamond as big as The Ritz!" by F. Scott Fitzgerald • Fantasy from ESCAPE! [remastered]

Percy's father is rich . . . So very rich that if he paid taxes on his actual income, it would disrupt the entire economy! Somewhere inside Area 51 there's a huge mansion sitting atop a diamond covering about five acres! It's a fun fantasy story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, with a great adaptation by Escape. The sound quality for this 72 year old recording is virtually perfect.

Like many Suspense episodes, this popular story was done multiple times by Escape. I uploaded the 1949 version a couple years back. I've been sitting on this digitally restored/high quality version for quite a while, so I thought I'd pass it on to you! It's one of my favorite episodes (about 90% of Escape episodes are my favorite!)

I love Fitzgerald. The Beautiful and Damned is one of my favorite books of all time but I've never read this short. What an awesome story!

[@cmc9775]

You know, I really enjoy listening to these suspense and escapes when I'm sometimes cooking dinner in the kithen.

[@gooqleinsider9467]

Surprisingly good story. Never heard it before! And the sound quality is incredible - I can't believe it's from 1948 - sounds like it was recorded yesterday! Thanks for the upload

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

You are more than welcome!

[@MicrobyteAlan]

This is a good story.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Absolutely - one of my many favorites - I'm glad you enjoy it, too!

Hi Charlie 👋. This one's over the top. Fitzgerald wrote it?! Trying to imagine this diamond mountain estate. Weird. Exactly why I love your channel! Awesome 👍 thanks from " "Hat Face"! Haha

Hey. Why do you love Radio Theater so much? Maybe the engineering audio is it. My son and a friend are audio engineers. Best to you and yours.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

There are many reasons I enjoy it so much. I think it's the high production quality of these shows, because they never disappoint. During the 80's and 90's I did voice overs at local radio stations, but I'm not an engineer. What does your son think of the sound quality of these 70 to 80 year old programs? Stay safe, and thanks again for your comments!

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered Hello. It's easy for me to forget that they did everything live then. Really needed talent and skill! I feel producing any audio, qualifies a person as engineering. My son's in college. Studying computer program/design. He lives at home,but I can't get him to listen to much! Haha. I'm just discovering these wonderful shows. Your channel is far superior! Bravo! Thanks again

Guy takes a girlfriend that doesn't know Adam from eve and wasn't old enough to even go to school, who then watches her whole family die, and that's ok? 😂

She had looks over cranial capacity.

Cold hearted

[@cmc9775]

Kinda ridiculous, sad and creative at the same time.

Might be easier a place to hide if his son didn't go around yapping about it

In future could you please upload on 144p or even 240p, this is 360p, which means it burns through people's data plans for audio only for no reason. I love your channel, even more so now with the pandemic. It's a terrific "escape" pun intended. Thanks and best wishes from Toronto Canada. 🇨🇦 👏👏👏 😁

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As far as the audio files go, I'm at the mercy of KZbin. All of my programs are in mp3 format, about 40mbps to 70mbps on average. KZbin does the file conversion, and I have no control of that. Still, I'm glad you discovered these great programs - I've been to Toronto a few times - great city! Thanks again - Charlie

[@jessicataylor3180]

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered good to learn about the technical end of it Charlie, and thank you for taking the time to explain that it's a KZbin issue, and for the kind words @ Toronto. Stay safe :)

[@phonotical]

@@SuspenseESCAPEremastered 720p please!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

@@phonotical I already have the best sound quality of these shows on KZbin!

Orgam music too annoying.
