==Caedmon history==
Caedmon was a pioneer in the audiobook business, it was the first company to sell spoken work recordings to the public and has been called the "seed" of the audiobook industry.<ref name=npr>{{cite web |url=
Their first release was a collection of poems by [[Dylan Thomas]] as read by the author. The B-side contained ''[[A Child's Christmas in Wales]]'' which was added as an afterthought - the story was obscure and Thomas himself couldn't remember its title when asked what to use to fill up the [[LP record|LP]]'s [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] - but this recording went on to become one of his most loved works, and launched Caedmon into a successful company.<ref name=npr/> The original 1952 recording was a 2008 selection for the [[United States National Recording Registry]], stating it is "credited with launching the [[audiobook]] industry in the United States".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/registry/nrpb-2008reg.html |title=The National Recording Registry 2008 |date=| accessdate=9 January 2012 | work=National Recording Preservation Board of the Library of Congress | publisher=The Library of Congress}}</ref>
