SPOKENWORDALBUM

Spoken word album

A spoken word album was a record album that did not consist mainly of music or songs, but of spoken material. It could be said to be the ancestor of today's audiobook format. Spoken word albums ranged from such items as recordings of actual political speeches and/or dramatic readings of historical documents, to dialogue from the soundtrack of a film, to condensed dramatized versions of literary classics, to complete performances of plays by Shakespeare or other great authors, to stories for children, or to standup comedy routines recorded live in nightclubs.
