Voices & cast
A Pickwick advertisement in Music Week dated 18 April 1981 lists Modesty Blaise, read by John Thaw, as PTB 611. This establishes availability by that date; it does not establish an exact first-release day. The story title is corroborated by the John Thaw Archive. The two recording parts remain to be checked against the cassette.
