Scooby Snacks 23

Listened to it in the car the other day whilst driving back from Rotherham having not heard it for a year or so and forgot how much I enjoyed it.

I just can't get bored of it! Got to be one of my fave CD's ever!

Steve Perriam

i've got a copy of the stage production they made of this the other year but yet to watch it.

DaveMiddleton

Went to see his stage production a couple of months back. Stunningly good!!!!

Iain Young

Me too. Went to see it live at the NEC back in December. Got a signed programme too

SirFozzalot

Makes my hair stand up in the back of my neck!

This probably has something to do with my brother and his friend terrorising me when I was young and scaring the bejesus out of me!

StickyMicky

is this anything to do with the hg wells book i am reading at the minute?

windyboy

the chances of anything coming from Mars is a million to one but still they come...
weee oooohh weeee ooooohh weeeee oooohhh weee oooooh !!!!

Bonehead

Used to scare the 5hite out of me when I was young.

Now I think it's one of the greatest albums of all time

Tam the bam

It is Brilliant, i used to listen to it almost every night when I was about 13.

I've got it on mp3 somewhere, need to look it out now.

Sonic'

Still enjoy it too

Got the DVD of the Live show, watched it in full dolby digital and on a 100 inch projector screen, was pretty damn good

I really wanted to go and watch it live, however the missus due date was the date of the concert, so couldnt make it

Iain Young

It's based upon the book

CrisPDuk

Top CD

I've got it on vinyl too

StickyMicky

cheers, found the book brand new for 99p in a factory outlet place

i knew a play was broadcast on the radio and loads of people thought it was real, but never knew about any album

pauld37

Agreed, one of the finest albums/musicals ever made. Also saw the stage show in Bournemouth the Xmas before last

Narrated by Richard Burton. Legend.

c_maguire

Good for two reasons.
The first is Richard Burton. I'm not a shirtlifter and never considered it but he is a true icon. And what a voice. Nobody could have been better.
The second is of course the soundtrack. Justin Hayward and Autumn is always worth a rewind, maybe a bit naff but I remember listening to it on an old tranny when the top 40 used to play on Radio 1 on Sunday afternoons.

The Trooper 1815

Also saw the "Live" Stage version............pretty awesome, worth every penny.

Sonic'

What really annoyed me was for the War of the Worlds film (other than Tom Cruise being in it and it generally being crap ) was that they got Morgan Freeman and threw the original text from the beginning into google's theasaurus and got him to read that

If they were really struggling I could have lent them my CD of the Original War of the Worlds to use the intro from that instead of the Morgan Freeman attempt

Nimbus

It a pity the Jeff Wayne version of the film seams to have come to nothing. Not heard any more on this for ages.

My favorite record of all times

in fact got it in scooby at moment
oooh laa

mart360

look for Pendragon war of the worlds.

it was released, sadly very low key in the UK,

a directors cut exists in the US version , but for some reason sale to europe is forbidden ?


if you try a torrent search :ahem: it only finds an almost complete item

Orson Welles did a radio broadcast of the book in the 30s' which had people panicking the streets - thinking it was a news report of an actual alien invasion.......!

The War of the Worlds (radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Nimbus

I don't mean the Pandragon version (which I have on DVD ) ). I mean the one Jeff was going to make featuring his own sound track. Snippets of the film were shown at the live show. The tripods were the same as on the album cover.

KiwiGTI

It's also something that makes me miss vinyl and the large album sleeves and notes. Used to love looking at my fathers copy and the great artwork.
