Grew up with my dad listening to his, I have just bought my 1st turntable, and this is the 1st album that I have purchased to play, I want my kids to sit down, and be drawn into the story as I was, all those years ago. ..... Hopefully, it isn't just me that was scared shitless listening to the cylinder unscrew ....
Yea same story with me. Dad used to play me and my brother this album....that cyclinder unscrew and the sinking feeling when the thunderchild goes down...chilling!
You know how that effect was done?? It was Jeff scraping a spoon in a saucepan then loads of echo and reverb added afterwards.... not so spooky when you know how its done eh? lol
I'm still playing my original copy from back in 1978... I like hearing a bit of crackle with Burton's voice at the beginning. I also have the 2006 remixed version on CD which is signed by Jeff Wayne who I got to meet at a dress rehearsal for the first tour.
Thanks Stripey, I'm becoming addicted to you! I had the LP in 1978, during the 90s, and then on CD. I bought it again last year. Yes, I love it. And thanks to your post, Ive just learned that the ETD soundtrack is available on vinyl, so I've just bought the picture disc version 😃
Found this in 1978 I was 12, love the album . Brilliant.
For me its a classic album ; very precious to me
Im 24 my grandad loved this .infact he got me into this album .one of the best
Loved this. Lots of positivity and even wholesomeness. Video oddly put a smile on my face.
Ordering this record now.
I remember listening to this for the first time as a kid. My dad has an original pressing of this album which has inevitably made its way into my collection.
Great video as always Stripey. Keep up the great work ;)
Cheers, Yesterday, I appreciate it mate
I think I'd have a hard time deciding what to play next.....spoilt for choice there matey,I'm sure you will impress us all as you've always done👍👍
Magnificent LP 👌
when I was a dj back in Maine 2011-2013, I had an overnight show but was lucky enuf to have another jock give me her shift so I could play this during prime stoner evening time - ON HALLOWEENE!!! I even bought a 2nd copy to be able to play continuously. GREAT response. LOVE your vid!!
Thank you. Cool story
Great video Stripey enjoyed it again keep em coming
Thank you, Frank, mate
Hi Stripey, great video yet again, nice that you venture out into different artists. I especially like this album, one of my favs and one that I bought when it first came out. It looks like the artwork, gatefold cover and booklet are the same as the original 1978 release except that the booklet then was stapled into the centre and not separate. At the time I had a Technics record deck, huge speakers and a very powerful Technics amp, one that I still used today along with the large floor standing speakers. The main set up was in the lounge but I did run another set of speakers into my study room next door. My girlfriend at the time had a friend staying who, feeling rather tired, decided to call it a night and retire to the room next door. We gave it an hour and put the album on quietly in the lounge. When the cylinder started to unscrew with the bom bom bom beat, I hit the button for speaker set number 2. OMG, when the top fell off, it became very apparent that my girlfirend's friend had a rather powerful set of lungs on her. So funny at the time.......
Hahaha brilliant I bet she s**t a brick mate! It is a great album I forgot how great (hadn't played it in ages) I vaguely remember the book being stapled to the record. Hope your well Mudpuddle, thanks.

This is a classic didn't like it the first time I listened to it but I have grown to really enjoy the record
Youre Review made me buy the album on vinyl.
Wow, that's awesome, Hope you enjoy it as much I I do, Thanks for letting me know
i got my son in to this album many years ago (who is 25 this year),its his favourite album too
The cover art is by Mike Trim who worked as an artist on Gerry Anderson TV shows of the 60's like Thunderbirds, later UFO etc.
Hi mate. It's Wayne.
Just to share this with you.
My Dad brought the album when it first came out. So as young as I can remember. It was always being played around the house.
Now as a young child I always thought that the people in the inside album cover picture were none other then the Beatles. (Because of there sideburns) and used to spend many hour trying to work out who was John. Who was Paul etc.
The penny did drop a few years later. But come on I was only a little ankle biter at the time. Lol
I suppose a child could think that, haha, I hope your good mate
Great video stripey!! I'd say the white album
Hi Stripey,
have had the original album when it came out in 1978/79. A few years ago bought the special edition 2 cd release. Saw Wayne a couple of years ago here in Sydney when he brought out the War of the Worlds Stage Show Musical it was great with the Martian taking up the front stage!! He also personally signed a number (large) of Concert Souvenir Books. You must get a chance to see the live show if it is still on.BTW also have the DVD which contains the full musical & another disc on how they came up with the idea & created the stage show. You must check that out!
The show sounds awesome, mike, I'll keep an eye out for the DVD mate! cheers pal
I bought the double LP just after it was first released, wish I knew what I'd done with the booklet - it's probably "somewhere safe". After some years I noticed that the LP was a bit warped, the arm was going up and down like a fairground ride, so I bought the double cassette. I've now bought the double CD, so I've bought it in all available media.
[I even bought the pc game, but didn't have much luck with that]
I could listen to Richard Burton for hours, and have done - I don't know his dialogue word for word, but I can talk along with most of it. What a gap he left in the world.
Illustrator Mike Trim used to design vehicles and spacecraft for Gerry Anderson's Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and UFO.
The surround sound SACD version is amazing if you ever get to hear it.
I plan on getting an SACD player, Danny, cheers pal
And with that, the Earth belonged... To DeAgostini!!
AAARRRGGHH!!!
The Persuaders ?
My dad played me his when I was young and I've loved it since. I've owned it on tape, LP, CD and now on the computer on MP3 so I can listen to it on my phone anytime. I went to the live concert, I own the live concert on DVD, alone with the Next Generation version (Liam Neeson as The Jounalist). I INSIST I AM NOT OBSESSED!!!!!
I think you may be slightly obsessed Haha! It is a fantastic album tho! cheers pal
Hi stripey great video fantastic soundtrack love it. Play the Beatles white album deluxe really want to hear what you think you'll love it fantastic sound remix by Giles Martin is amazing I think better than originally my opinion. Hope you well stripey love the videos. Keeping rocking
You have got to play Cream next
White Album next definitely Stripey! 😁
You're Welcome mate. :) my vote for next review is OST enter the dragon
Enter the Dragon, Mmmmm, I'll move that one up this list! Cheers, Again Buddy
Hi mate. I have never been into this album. Started playing it a few times, but.... i ccould never play the whole album (cd), i guess it is not my kind of music.
The Kinks would be a nice one for your next vinyl 1st play.
Enjoy the album and looking forward to your next video. Keep up mate.
That's surprises me, Pe ke, that you don't enjoy WOTW, I loved it! I had a feeling you'd say "The Kinks" mate, cheers pal
@@StripeyR Hi mate. I will give Jeff Wayne another try.
And I knew that you would know that I would suggest The Kinks. It is my number 2 Brittish band at least up to their "Everybody Is In Show-Biz" album in1972,.
My number 1 Brittish band, ...... (And this you know for sure,) are .....The Beatles.
And the last 2 Ray Davies - Americana albums are some good pieces of music.
Stripey, you should do a Morrissey first play. You’ve mentioned how you like his solo work so you should definitely first play Viva Hate or Vauxhall and I.
I have Copy 1978 Vinyl Of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds
I have the Tardis
My absolute favourite album ever! You should try the New Generation version of the album too with Liam Neeson, see what you think of that!
I thought it was awful, he should have left well alone in my opinion. Spartacus was very underrated, again my opinion l have that on CD too. For me though the original album of TWOTW's all the way.
You'll have a job finding the New Gen album on vinyl... they only did a small number at release and didnt re issue them again.I made do with the CD
Wow what a classic 😎in parts it reminds me of Pink Floyd’s “Animals “.
I know what you mean, in places it does
Agreed... it certainly does have that feel
hey stripey; the kinks are a band i think you would love to obtain more albums from; they have great vinyls from approx 1966 to 1972. from what you play and love i know you would be amazed at how good the band are. id like to see you do a stones album from their classic era 68-72; exile on main st is such a unique sound.
take care and keep putting your great content out there. ps that richard burton voice is amazing on the intro
Cheers, Steve, The Kinks are a band I'm going to explore a little more (I know the hits) and of course the Stones, like, Dyan, are a must mate. cheers pal
Stripey Rambles yes I love Dylan too.
Blonde on blonde would be my desert island choice
Randel and hopkirk I think
I think it is Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), cheers Davy
the best LP of the late 70s i think
Stripey, I say your next first play should be Nirvana's Nevermind in my personal opinion. Also sir, I'm looking to buy myself a new vinyl but I don't know what to get. I was thinking about getting a classic rock album that is more relaxing and easy going rather than a very up tempo and head banging album. Was wondering if u had any suggestions...?
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, John, fits your criteria perfect mate. Nirvana eh? Mmmmm! cheers pal
A fantastic album. My mam has had this since 1978 and l began my love for it in around 1982 when l was 5 years old. She still has the original vinyl pressing. This is a reproduction of that original. This has the full script included where as the 1978 booklet was abridged from the main albums dialogue. I also like his Spartacus album, but it's nowhere near as popular and some may argue not as good. It's a very different sounding album but l like it. Very hard to get though. I got mine off eBay on CD for £35. Anyway l have the new vinyl reissue as shown here, the 2006 remix CD, the 7 disc boxset (highly recommended) and the original CD release from about 1986. Check out the DVD live performance too. But don't bother with the New Generation stuff. lol
I like Spartacus too... or as I call it "Ive got a Roland D-50 and Im gonna use it" lol
Great album and have seen the stage show twice (which is a must see if you like the record). The excerpt you played Stripey, where it reminded you of a 70's TV series, I reckon is a bit like the Persuaders theme (with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis), fabulous stuff!!. Link here ua-cam.com/video/t99QQIXez4M/v-deo.html
It could be the Persuaders, Ian, nice one mate. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the stage show. cheers pal
... Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells, or any Mike Oldfield album next mate.
Ive been really intrigued at how this vinyl rerelease sounds. On youtube, I heard Spirit Of Man from what I believe is the 2009 CD and they ruined the vocals / singing. Terrible job on the sound mix. I really hope this vinyl reissue does not use that same mix.
