Wikipedia
On 23 June 2005, the original album was re-released in two forms: one in a remastered 2-disc hybrid multichannel Super Audio CD set; another in a 7-disc "Collector's Edition" featuring additional remixes, outtakes, the actors reading from the unabridged script, excerpts from the Quinn and Jürgens performances, as well as a seventh disc being a DVD showing the making of the album, produced by Phoenix Film & Television Productions. This release went to No. 7 in the UK. Both contained new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mixes by Gaëtan Schurrer and Gary Langan, who had access to Wayne's tape archive and discovered 372 quarter-inch master tapes that were identified, digitised, and pieced back together from the original tracking sheets. The process involved a re-fit of Wayne's home studio, including the installation of a high end Pro Tools rig and a surround sound monitoring system. Wayne bought a Magilink machine at auction for 50p in order to read the original Magilink timecode, but could not get it to work, so Schurrer used the blips and beeps produced by the timecode on the waveform display in Pro Tools as a guide.
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds is a studio double concept album by American-British composer and musician Jeff Wayne, released on 9 June 1978 by CBS Records. A progressive rock and orchestral retelling of H. G. Wells's 1898 science fiction novel, the work is structured as an "album musical" that employs narration, leitmotifs, and rhyming melodic lyrics to convey the story from the perspective of a Victorian journalist. The production features a prominent ensemble cast, including actor Richard Burton as the spoken-word narrator, alongside vocal and dramatic performances by Justin Hayward, David Essex, Phil Lynott, Julie Covington, and Chris Thompson.
Wayne conceived the adaptation after being introduced to the novel by his father, and secured the rights from Wells's estate in 1975. Developed over three years with a script by his wife Doreen and lyrics by Gary Osborne and Paul Vigrass, the recording process saw its original budget expand significantly from £35,000 to approximately £240,000. The musical design blends a conventional rock rhythm section, synthesized arrangements by Ken Freeman, and a 48-piece string orchestra conducted by Wayne himself. The album's visual identity was established through an accompanying lavish booklet featuring acclaimed sci-fi illustrations by painters Mike Trim, Geoff Taylor, and Peter Goodfellow.
Upon its release, the album defied contemporary punk rock trends to become an international success. It peaked at No. 5 in the UK and reached number one in 11 countries, eventually spending over 330 weeks on the British charts. It spawned two hit singles: the acoustic ballad "Forever Autumn", featuring Hayward on lead vocals, and the disco-inflected instrumental theme "The Eve of the War". The work won two Ivor Novello Awards, including Best Instrumental or Popular Orchestral Work, and received critical acclaim for its narrative fidelity and ambitious sonic production.
The War of the Worlds has sold over 2.7 million copies in the UK alone and an estimated 15 million worldwide. Its critical and commercial longevity has sustained an enduring multimedia franchise, including video game adaptations, remix packages, and a successful arena-scale touring production featuring advanced animatronics and holographic projections. A definitive re-recording, The New Generation, was released in 2012 featuring Liam Neeson as the Journalist, followed by an immersive theatrical experience in London that ran for seven years.
