Wells tale, Jeff Wayne's musical version of War of the Worlds straddles old-style radio drama and contemporary orchestrated narratives by Rick Wakeman and David Bedford. And while it lacks the sophisticated arrangements of, say, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, it does boast an impressively odd cast -- this may be the only time that a member of Thin Lizzy worked with Richard Burton, and the presence of Julie Covington and the Moody Blues' Justin Hayward in very attractive singing roles attest to its pop/rock aspirations. It's Burton's sonorous tones that sustain this work; his frequent solo narrations are eminently listenable, whereas sections featuring dialogue with other characters often come off as a bit stilted. The music is competent studio rock, and "Horsell Common and the Heat Ray" does strike just the right balance between Burton's narration and an accompaniment built around a buzzsaw guitar riff. Overall, it's pleasant as a period piece, and still a fine way to introduce younger listeners to Wells' classic tale. (And if you can find it in a vinyl, it comes with a nicely produced narrative booklet with gloriously lurid illustrations by Geoff Taylor.) The album was actually appealing on too many fronts for its own good in many ways -- the Justin Hayward-sung ballad "Forever Autumn," extracted from a much longer piece on the double-LP -- showed some signs of appealing to AM radio listeners and climbed to the Top 40 based on airplay alone, but by the time Columbia Records in America (missing this boat entirely) got copies of the single into stores so that people could actually buy the record, the song had dropped back down; in the meantime, the record became a favorite of discos and dance clubs in New York and elsewhere, where its extended, highly rhythmic, synthesizer-driven sections delighted deejays and audiences, and Columbia missed another bet by not releasing an instrumental-only assembly of those long passages. (In New York, for years after it went out of print on vinyl, the album was sought after by club deejays eager to spin it). [In the summer of 2005, to coincide with Steven Spielberg's remake of the story, The War of the Worlds was reissued as a double-disc hybrid SACD containing a new 5.1 surround mix, a remastered stereo mix, and a 48-page booklet, containing a reprint of the double album's artwork, plus some new art and liner notes.] ~ Paul Collins and Bruce Eder, All Music Guide TRACKS: Disc 1 1 The Eve of the War - 9:07 2 Horsell Common and the Heat Ray - 11:35 3 The Artilleryman and the Fighting Machine - 10:36 4 Forever Autumn - 7:41 5 Thunder Child - 6:06 Disc 2 1 The Red Weed, Pt. 1 - 5:53 2 The Spirit of Man - 11:37 3 The Red Weed, Pt. 2 - 5:24 4 The Artilleryman Returns - 1:27 5 Brave New World - 12:14 6 Dead London - 8:35 7 Epilogue, Pt. 1 - 2:31 8 Epilogue, Pt. 2 (NASA) - 1:50 ALL MY CD'S ARE FACTORY SEALED (unless specifically listed as "USED") ORIGINALS  - I don't sell CDR'S, new or used!  Some imports are brand new WITHOUT being sealed, they come that way from the factory.  This will be stated on the auction if it is the case   Shipping Info SHIPPING RATES FOR THIS ITEM - if the item is a multi-disc set, the total shipping price is reflected in the "FIRST CD" cost.  You do not have to add the "ADD'L CD" costs to them.  UNITED STATES FIRST CD:   $3.55 -for free postage, see info at left ADD'L CDS:   $1.50 --for free postage, see info at left  - (see note below table about items sold as used).
