Richard Burton was perfect as the narrator.

The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one, they said.

But still, they come.

@villavengore007 and while i like to credit Wells for his genius with the story, i find the Wayne Martian Fighting Machines the most intimidating out of all the ones ive seen. whereas the ones portrayed in the book have organic tenticles holding the heat ray, these ones seem completely mechanical, cold and lifeless; striking an amazing counterpoint to us when the martians can easily commit genicide.

ahh, nostialgia (and english essays too .. only time they were fun)

One of the first LP's I ever bought for myself - 30+ years ago..... this intro STILL sends shivers down my spine - this was the work of genius!

I remember as a 17 year old buying this album. Burton blew me away with his voice.
