- Not the best SACD by any meansI bought the special edition with the book, DVD, CDs with outtakes, auditions, missing pieces etc. But I also wanted to hear The War Of The Worlds in ultra high quality SACD.
Well, I feel let down. The quiet parts get cut, e.g. echoes pop in and out. It seems the recording engineer has cut all sound below a certain level from the mix tapes.
Going back to my original CD version, there is certainly more noise but there is also a hell of lot more depth to the sound. Playing ... Read More

- MADE MY XMAS IN '78 - STILL A CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM IN EVERY SENSE!An absolute essential if you appreciate Classical, Rock and/or Science Fiction!
My earliest meeting with Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds was as a 10 year old lad in it's original year of release - and 30 years later, I'm still in love with one of the greatest alien invasion tales ever written (Also very fond of the 1953 film, but a little bit dissapointed by 2005's Spielberg epic - great FX though!). It was great on cassette back in the day, now it's AWESOME on compact disc!!! ... Read More

- Probably the best 5.1 mix...ever!The 5.1 mix on this album, is to my mind, the best yet: albeit, I have only heard three 5.1 albums. The other two being Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and Love by The Beatles. War of the worlds is way way better than the other two.
And, when I read the liner notes, I'm sure it said there were three mixes of the album contained on the SACDs. (1) the 5.1 SACD mix, (2) the SACD stereo mix and (3) a new, but regular CD stereo mix. Fantasitic! Buy it!

- PerfectI first heard Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds during a lesson at school when I was five years old; afterwards, the teacher let me take home the record to listen to again. I recall the excitement of the music, and browsing the accompanying booklet, looking at the art which depicted each track.
I'm now twenty-seven and still absolutely love this production. I'd recommend this CD to anyone. Indeed, I do recommend it to everyone!
Definitely worth five stars!

- All-time classicI remember hearing this album when I was a child (I'm now 25) and feeling excited and terrified at the same time.
The album is so well done it brings the listener right into the middle of the story, as a previous reviewer wrote it almost makes you check outside your own windows to make sure one of those terrible tripods isn't striding around your town! (I actually live in the same general area described in HG Wells original novel) you also experience some of the fear and the terror the ... Read More
