I have LOTR on CD by Inglis, and they're great - well worth the money. He reads the books, word for word, and uses slightly different accents/inflexions/etc to denote different speakers. He sings/chants the songs as needed. No sounds effects are heard, so it's all in your head. The Appendices at the end of ROTK are also included.

Note that frequent use of Inglis CDs can cause vertigo when viewing PJ movies.

I also have the BBC versions of LOTR and Hobbit on cassette/CD. They were okay, but some parts of the stories are missing. Better than nothing at all.

For long drives when you want your brain to take a vacation.
