Are there any Moody Blues/Justin Hayward fans in this group? I'm a huge fan, and I discovered Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds maybe sometime in the late 1980s.
It's just like watching a movie, only it's pure audio. If you sit down and listen to it, pretty soon you forget that it's not a movie. It's that good (IMO). It think it's pretty amazing. I love it. Anyone that likes the Moody Blues and Justin Hayward should enjoy this.
It features:
Richard Burton – spoken words (The Journalist)
David Essex – spoken words and vocals (The Artilleryman)
Phil Lynott – spoken words and vocals (Parson Nathaniel)
Julie Covington – spoken words and vocals (Beth)
Justin Hayward – vocals (The Sung Thoughts of The Journalist "Forever Autumn")
Chris Thompson – vocals (The Voice of Humanity "Thunder Child")
Jerry Wayne – spoken words ("Epilogue, Part 2")
Ken Freeman – keyboards
Chris Spedding – guitar
Jo Partridge – guitar (The Heat Ray)
George Fenton – santur, zither, tar
Herbie Flowers – bass guitar
Barry Morgan – drums
Barry da Souza, Roy Jones, Ray Cooper – percussion
Paul Vigrass, Gary Osborne, Billy Lawrie – backing vocals

P.S.- I also have the 1938 radio broadcast on CD and the 1953 movie on VHS.
