Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds

7-Disc Collector’s Limited Edition (SACD and Book Set)

Digitally re-mastered SACD.

Condition: Very Good. As new, but slight bump to one top corner and one bottom corner. Received by me from new in this condition. Probably due to original posting.  Apart from this the rest of the item is perfect.

Includes a 12" x 12" full colour bound collector's 80-page bound book containing the original images, biographies and other additional information on the history of this classic novel and album.

Discs 1 and 2

The first two discs are presented as SACD hybrid Super Audio CDs containing a 5.1 multi-channel surround sound mix and a stereo remix of the original double album. For the 5.1 remix the original album was painstakingly re-built from the 70 plus multi-track tapes, sound by sound, track by track, entirely remixed and brought into the digital domain delivering the most superior sound technology can provide.

Disc 3

Devoted to the 17 best club remixes of this album from 1979-2005 including Ulladubulla (Papa Ootzie remix), Eve Of The War (Hybrid's fire in the sky mix/edit), Forever Autumn (N Trance remix), Horsell Common And The Heat Ray (Max Mondo remix), Spirit Of Man (spirit of dub), Eve Of The War (remix), Artilleryman And The Fighting Machine (Max Mondo remix), Brave New World (Todd Terry remix), Forever Autumn (dark Autumn dub), Red Weed (Mister Joy Boy remix) Spirit Of Destiny (Parson versus Palene Cassidy/Langan/Wayne remix), Eve Of The War (1980 disco Steve Thompson remix), Spirit Of Man (Max Mondo remix), Eve Of The War (Ben Liebrand remix), Brave New World (Dario G remix), Dead London (Mister Joyboy remix), Eve Of The War (versus animal and man Forrest/Schurrer/Wayne remix).

Discs 4 to 6

Include never-before-heard rarities, out-takes and unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions including on disc 6 the entire, unabridged Richard Burton performance of which only 40% made its way into the original album.

Disc 7
