Suddenly, the lid fell off.

amejisuto and I were chatting about goodness-knows-what several weeks ago and it came up that Ame had never heard of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds which was a musical version made in the seventies, narrated by Richard Burton.



This was a childhood fav of mine and I've literally listened to it thousands of times since I was a kiddie. I found the music exciting and hypnotising and I was scared fucking shitless by the unscrewing of the cylinder. Nearly thirty years later and it's still considered an absolute classic.

So, I've finally got off my arse, dug out the CD and uploaded it. You are all welcome to download it.

If you like it and decide you want to buy it, Brits, you can get it, and many other versions, including a live DVD, from the above link, and those in the States can get it from here. Sorry to those outside of these countries; I really haven't got a clue.

So, download and I challenge you not to run screaming from the ghastly sounds of the cylinder.

Maybe one day we'll capture a fighting machine, eh? Learn how to make them ourselves and then...wallop! Our turn to do some wiping out! Whoosh with our heat ray!

Let me know if you have any probs with the link.

I don't need to download no CD, I've got the CD. Hell, I've got the vinyl LP with the proper-sized booklet and paintings. Neener.

WOW! So lucky! We only had the double cassette, and that stretched over a decade ago ~sigh~ I wish I had the vinyl.

[riani1.livejournal.com]

I bought it when I was young, and I don't even remember how I heard of it. But I heard of it and it snagged my brain and I've never been without it ever since.

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

It is a classic. I grew up with it, I can't remember a time when we didn't have it.

My ex had the vinyl double album but the rat took it with him when he left. So unfair! *g*

I have it now as a pair of avis, and I have the original radio play too. :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

The bastard! :oD

Oooh, I keep meaning to d/l the radio play. I've never heard it.

SGA tomorrow. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

YAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I miss those geeky dorky boys!

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Me too!

And it's just d/l. Yay! I'm gonna wait 20 mins for Emmerdale to start and then I'll be able to watch with no interruptions from Grandad. LOL!

My dl should be complete in 8 minutes. *dolphin noises*

I watched Return Pt 2, Echoes and Tao last night, to get the blood pumping and the squee flying.

Hay, have you seen the cover art for the second edition of the new Buffy comic?

*whimpers* (http://ros-fod.livejournal.com/149368.html?view=2649720&style=mine!)

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

Holy Wibble!!

I cannot WAIT for this comic!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

don't you just want to lick that eyebrow? :D

[suki-blue.livejournal.com]

God, yes!!!!! I seriously want to, like never before. I think I'm gonna need to icon that cover - oh yes

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

It's crying out to be iconed. And licked. And nibbled. And... Oh, just imagine the pretty - Spike in his duster and Xander in his lovely leather jacket and his rakish patch. ROWR!

So, you watched the ep? *itches to squee*

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

How ultra-mega-tripendicular and cool!

I remember one glorious summer when I was kid & 'Forever Autumn' was playing everywhere - it was the soundtrack to my holiday. :-)
