Hi everyone, I'm hoping that someone here can help me identify one of my Tolkien posters. Its from the late 60s and Its written in the Elvish language. At the bottom left in small print it says "The first advertisement in the Elvish Language" Then at the bottom right it says "Caedmon Records" Thank you
If someone can translate the poster for me , Id really appreciate it ...
Here is one of the others from the same time period .. My favourite
" The Tree Woven Lands of Middle Earth " 1967 By Steve Sachs

First question: that is not an Elvish language. It's just English language written with runes (cirth. More specifically: angerthas).
It is something like:
nw rekord
nw bookh
JRR TOLKIEN
speeks and
I z set to
my uuzek
I write a double e, o and u to long vowels.
I hope it will be helpful.
Mandos.

Thanks Mandos for translating the runes!
Normalized to English spelling, it seems the runes would then say:
New
Record
New
Book
J.R.R. Tolkien
Speaks and
Is set to
Music

Thank you Mandos , yes very helpful ...
From what I've been able to find , the poster was included in a box set .
I've attached pics of a discussion on another forum in 2003
