Jeff Wayne is a legend, the creator of one of the greatest compositions and recordings of all time. I heard a prolonged radio interview with him the week The War of the Worlds was first released in 1978. He was fascinating then and he is now. How lovely to see him and hear him speak today. Thanks Warren.

I grew up listening to this album, this was the soundtrack to the trip down to the coast for us in Australia. I still hum the bassline to The Eve of War all the time. I've started showing it to my step son who is 4 years old and he is OBSESSED with it already. I have nothing but warm memories of this album, and it mentions my city at the end of the album, Canberra!

Named my son Nathaniel after the parson in ‘The Spirit of Man’. Loved this album since I heard it as a kid in 81. Wasn’t the kind of thing you’d normally hear in south Texas at the time but a radio station played it in full on Halloween. It was the catalyst for my interest in music and all things WOTW related.

I remember my dad had TWOTW on double casette and was a huge fan of Moody Blues and had Night's of White Satin on vinyl when I quiet young. I would listen non stop to this when I was in my teens only up to the end of Thunderchild. I had completely forgotten about TWOTW and lost my dad 11 years ago to cancer, call it divine intervention but I listened to the complete album and knew the moment I heard "Forever Autumn" was Justin Hayward and made me cry remembering my dad. Finally listening to album was nothing short of an amazing album and the time Jeff took to produce it, not for the money but for his passion of composing and writing music. Thank you Jeff and Thank you Warren for taking the time to do this interview

I was 11 when my father gave me this album. In 40 years I have met 1 person that knew the music when they heard blasting out of my car. None of my friends or people I worked with ever knew there was a musical. I've even had people argue with me about it. This was music that was in twined with some of the best memories of my life. I have shared this music with hundreds of people. Mr. Wayne, you are probably the only entertainer in the world today that I would get all goofy about meeting because of what this album means to me. So form the kid in BFE Oregon thank you!

My all time favourite LP and one of the first I ever bought in 1980. My brother hated me for playing it, as he was a bit younger and it terrified him. A wonderful interview, which captures some of the many incredible stories associated with the production. Jeff was so eloquent, interesting and humble when documenting the background to this wonderful version of HG Wells masterful work. The interviewer has a lovely pace, seemed well researched, and like me and real fan who was so influenced by the album visually and audibly that their knowledge helped Jeff to beautifully elaborate in great detail about the magic, great fortune, risks taken and mishaps experienced in the making of the most culturally significant albums of the 20th century

I love that you're getting more out of Wayne than he put out himself. I bought the seven disc collectors edition years ago and it had a DVD documentary called 'Deconstructing War of the Worlds' and it felt like very little thought had gone in to it. The two videos you've done with him I would have happily bought as a Bluray package.

What a great conversation. I had to watch it in stages (Parts 1 through 4?) but man I enjoyed that. A seminal album for me at 15 when I first heard it. I lived in Sweden and was on a school trip. I remember being unable to do one of the outings and was left in the care of some grown ups (18-20) and me and these Swedes sat through the whole album. It was such an immersive experience and the album to this day remains in my top lists of go to/listen to albums. Loved that you took the time to discuss it all with Jeff. Kudos 🙏🙏

I first heard TWOTW at my uncles house, must have been around 1981 when I was six. He had speakers rigged throughout the house (incredible at the time) and for some reason I was left alone indoors with side one of the album playing. I couldn’t escape it. It absolutely terrified me, I’m not kidding - verging on childhood trauma. I must have had two years of sleepless nights off the back of it. Even now, the ooh la’s raise my pulse a little. It’s a powerful, brilliant album that still fascinates. Many years later in my teens I got to visit the studio where it was recorded and see some of the analog synths Jeff used. Thanks for this interview - it’s helped my healing process 😂

I'm from Belgium, born in 1961 and (writing in Italic for some reason. Looks like the page is set-up to do so) I've always been a Hard Rock and later Heavy Metal fan, although for me it's not about genre or style but about the music. I got intrigued by "War Of The Worlds" because of the musicians involved. I mean, Julie Covington (from whom I got a single back then called "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", a thousand times better than what madonna delivered twenty years later); Phil Lynott, David Essex (whom I knew from "Gonna Make You a Star"), Chris Thompson from Manfred Mann's Earth Band and Richard Burton doing the narrative part, I mean, who wouldn't be sitting on the edge of their chair, eh? Bought the album end of 1978 and was immediately in love with it, despite my fellow hard-rockers having a suspicious eye on me. In those days at that age it was not done to listen or speak about anything else but heavy music, otherwise you were no longer worthy of belonging to the group. See if I cared. Anyway, "War Of The Worlds" by Jeff Wayne is one of the best concept albums ever made. In fact, it is THE concept album. I'm putting ths in front of Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime", Iced Earth's "Framing Armageddon", Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and "The Wall", the Who's "Tommy" and every other concept album ever made before and after. Jeff Wayne did a marvellous job, because the music is incredible and the voices are astounding and everything fits so well together you cannot listen to the whole without the voices or listen to the voices without the music. And you can't forego the story at whatever time you'd jump into the music. Such splendour.

As you say, this album is a masterpiece! I'd love for Jeff to release a 100% analogue audiophile remaster, based on the original mix (I'm not a huge fan of Gary Langan's remix) and pressed on 180g virgin vinyl. Maybe do it as a 50th anniversary boxed set?

One thing I'm surprised they're not made is war of the world's film in cartoon musical in the vein of when the wind blows, I wonder what would be like if you put the cartoon drawings from the album into art AI what it would come up with?

One mystery for me was why WOTW made little impression in the US. It peaked at 94 in the Billboard charts. "Forever Autumn" couldn't crack the Top 40 in the US but was a #5 hit in the UK. Did CBS not promote it in the States? Was there no appetite here for "disco prog"? I only heard it because my older sister was an anglophile and loved all things proggy (especially the Moody Blues and Genesis).

Evidently CBS didn't. I personally hadn't heard of War of the Worlds until 1986. My dear friend had the LP and I was mindblown, Godsmacked and dumbfounded when I heard it.
