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.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony

Yes, that would be good, the music, I can take it or leave it. We've had the original on vinyl forever, but it never gets played. Anita bought this "update" as a souvenir of the show, which she said was amazing.
Credit where it's due, production is first rate, and the pressing is as good as I've heard anywhere, almost CD-quiet.

Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 4)
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…
