Just found this on the shelf, didn't know we had it - turns out Anita bought it a few years ago then forgot about it. So, cellophane off, I'll give it a go. First thing I notice is Liam Neeson (he's everywhere these days, almost as bad as Morgan Freeman) doing the Richard Burton thing... overall not bad though.

I have the original on a double CD. It rarely gets played as the only thing I'm interested in is Richard Burton's narration: in fact what I should try to find is an audio book of "War of the Worlds" read by Richard Burton.Quote:

The original War of the Worlds is one of my first album memories - my dad’s mate had a “proper” hi-fi (unlike my dad’s Ferguson “sound system”) and I remember listening to this and thinking “wow” - the “ooo-laaa’s” still give me creeps a little even after all these years… :sofa:
