It’s a treat to hear the late Sir Richard Burton read “War of the Worlds” for Jeff Wayne’s musical of the same name. Liam Neeson has also done an updated version, and it’s also quite good.

Quite right. Both the album version and the CD are worth having. I bought the DVD some years ago from a music store in England through Amazon UK and converted the PAL video to NTSC on my computer.

Speaking of Richard Burton, I just found this...

Richard Burton out-takes from Jeff Wayne’s “War of the Worlds” recording session.
