War of the Worlds ORIG OZ 2LP EX '78 CBS S2BP220201 Jeff Wayne Richard Burton

Description: Original OZ 2LP released in 1978 on CBS REcords. Cat: S2BP220201. Comes in a gatefold sleeve. Comes with 14 full colour booklet with pictures and lyrics which is in Excellent condition. Released 40 years after Orson Welles' infamous radio version of the H.G. 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. Tracks : The coming of the Martians/ The eve of the war/ Horsell Common and the heat ray/ The artilleryman and the fighting machine/ Forever autumn/ Thunder child/ The earth under the Martians/ The red weed and parson Nathaniel/ The spirit of man/ The artillery man and dead London/ Brave new world/ Dead London/ Epilogue.
