The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings audiobooks read by Tolkien?

On YouTube I found audio clips of J.R.R. Tolkien reading a chapter of The Hobbit and The Two Towers. Does anyone know if Tolkien recorded himself reading the whole Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books? If so could you tell me where I might find them? I looked on amazon, but if anyone finds it can I get a link?

Thanks so much!
Actually Tolkien died in 1973, they DID have audio recordings at that time, I have heard little snippets of his, and even seen video interviews. After all they've been making movies since around the 30's or before!!!!
I just want to hear MORE of Tolkien. If you do not know the answer please refrain from answering!!!! (This is a response to my first answerer, who appears to not know very much)


Sadly, Professor Tolkien only recorded relatively few portions of his work. All were made at his home, using a portable tape recorder brought by a friend. The chapters from The Hobbit and The Two Towers were the longest portions, but he also recorded some of the poetry from not only The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but The Adventures of Tom Bombadill (a slim volume of poetry).
As far as I know, all of these recordings were eventually released on records, cassettes and, I believe, a set of CDs, although all are now very hard to find.

Since I am temporarily on a very lousy laptop and do not have any of my "standard" tools, I'm sorry about the lack of video quality ...

    It’s no secret that all of us here love books. But we happen to be big fans of audiobooks as well, and one in particular. At some point in the past couple of years, we’ve each come across this special piece of work, and though it’s affected each of us differently, those effects have all been powerful. And that awesome power isn’t an attribute of the book itself necessarily, but rather the extraordinary work of the audiobook’s narrator. But don’t just take it from me. Listen to what the rest of our contributors have had to say.

    Let the praises be sung:
