    Brilliant album. I saw the live show when it was in Sydney about 6 years ago. Hard to believe the original version (the album) came out in 1978.

    A great album! Evidently Richard Burton did his narration once only, there were no retakes for him. I wonder how many kids nowadays would listen to this album?

    Mmmm, I have the album somewhere! There goes the rest of the day for me, cleaning out the junk cupboard looking for it.

    why is it hard to believe. oh you must be young eye.

    NB the original came out on radio, yes there was radio and electricity etc 8 p.m. EST on Sunday, October 30, 1938

    which sort of shows how Hip our great grand parents were. well some of them.

    you should read up about it, its an interesting historical story in itself.

    but then any one who is interested in the latest version would not be interested in 1984 for example.

    oh i remember i think, the sound of the space ship unscrewing, was a aluminum pot being rubbed around a toilet

    Aliens actually landed in 1938 but forced Orson Wells to say " No,no it's just a radio shoe hoax"........
