Insight Scoop calls attention to Bettnet's posting of a 1971 BBC interview with J.R.R. Tolkien:
.... In addition to the actual interview, it’s also a chance for some fans to hear his voice for the first time.
I’d heard his voice before. When I was a kid, I received for Christmas a record (an actual vinyl disc!) of Tolkien reading excerpts from his works, including the Lay of Beren and Luthien and A Elbereth Githoniel. It was fascinating to hear how to properly pronounce all those names and Elvish words. It was from Caedmon, I recall. ....


I have all of these record albums still, but no longer have a turntable. I was extraordinarily happy to find the Tolkien readings from LOTR on CD.
