Cheapest I've seen this and it comes with the MP3 for free, and that would normally set you back £11.99 on its own.

This new 'slimline' jewel case version released to celebrate the 30th Anniversary includes a beautiful 36 page booklet in addition to the fantastic original double album. The album also includes two new audio and video bonus tracks "The Spirit of Man 2009" (featuring Jennifer Ellison and Shannon Noll) and the Justin Hayward Medley. 2 CD set. Sony. 2009.

    60p cheaper at Rarewaves for the 2 x CD from which you can make mp3 / flac files better than Amazon quality (Amazon download below)

    You'll have the 'I don't have a CD drive/I can't be bothered to encode a copy myself' folks burning down your house.

    you should listen to the original radio broadcast and image listening to it on the radio as if you were in 1938



    you can imagine why it scared the bejesus out of ppl at the time

    There's also a version of the original recorded by the Star Trek TNG cast + Leonard Nimoy floating around online if you know where to look. 🏴‍☠️

    Whos the Narrator is it Richard Burton or Laim Neeson

    Also don't see where it says free mp3 of the album (edited)
    hilari0us's avatar
    There IS only 1 narrator being Burton. The Liam Neeson version is called New Generation

    Can anyone tell me how the free mp3 bit works - does it come up automatically on amazon music?

    No one would have believed it would be this price.

    The chances were a million to one they said.

    Heat (ray)added. Absolutely love this album, we had it on loop when I was young. Artwork was great as well (edited)

    My first album purchased from Greens in Gainsborough probably around 1980.

    My favourite book and favourite musical.
    Was one of the most fascinating things I ever heard as a kid and it stayed with me ever since.

    I excitedly played it to the kids a couple of times in the past few years and they couldn't have cared less

    Aw man, shame. I played my kids it, a few years ago, whilst driving to Wales. They loved it and were quiet the whole journey. A minor miracle.

    Incredible album. It always blows me away how much it paints vivid pictures in my head, often from music alone. The Red Weed guitar solo is always my favourite part.

    Recently went to the War of the Worlds immersive experience in London. Absolutely amazing, definitely a must-do if you’re a big fan and in the area.
  12. MikeWard1701's avatar
    If you enjoy the album, this is definitely worth a watch/listen.

    I have the SACD 5.1 version and I have say it's a nightmare searching for it on Amazon as it sees CD and cannot seperate the two even with inverted commas.

    It must be mad in surround

    Remember to turn off the gaps between tracks if your player adds them. Usually on computers

    1 of the best albums ever. Seen live show twice, Liam Neeson 1 not so good. Got Wayne to sign my mag after finish by waiting round back door when they leave.

    The epilogue is so eerie... Scared me as a kid

    Amazon MP3 quality is terrible, not a selling point. Great album.

    Shame the tom cruise film was such a turkey. Which is surprising as maverick and his latest mission impossible are top draw, if a little long.
    TheCostOfLies's avatar
    Nah, I thought it was great.

    Do people still have mp3 players or use mp3s in 2023?
    HonourableGentleman's avatar
    My MP3 player died last week - am still getting over it...
  21. howard9's avatar
    is this the original or remixed version please? or was it just the SACD that got remixed and butchered? (edited)
  22. pobrika's avatar
    I'm a bit of a fan of War of the World's.
    The original soundtrack is a classic
    The ulladubulla dub is great when I want some dance.
    And the Liam modern version is enjoyable as I like his voice, esp when he says to the Aliens I have a particular set of skills..... Ok maybe that's not exactly how it went (edited)

    We could do with an alien invasion right now. Specifically, the ones that usually target the big government landmarks...

    Phenomenal album. Used to enjoy listening to this with my Dad. I got the mp3 on a glowing alien capsule usb several years ago. Also recommend the experience in London if you enjoy it and have not been.
