“The chances against anything manlike on Mars are a million to one,” he said. (Excerpt from the book by H G Wells.)

WATCH OUT, run for your lives ...the Martians are coming!
Well on October 30, 1938
Terrified listeners truly thought the world was ending
When a radio broadcast 
Of H G Wells book ‘The War of the Worlds’ was aired

Jeff Wayne turn the book into an epic musical story
Well over 40 years have passed since it was released
Millions have listened to the double album
And seen a Martian monster recreated in the stage show

Though the Martians first invade dry land
The album cover focuses on the war at sea …

Terror stricken sea travellers try to escape
 A massive menacing metal monster
With bulging green bug like eyes
Its gleaming silver body perched high upon
Three spindly chop stick like tripod legs 
It stalks the steamer like a spider eying its prey
The brave captain tries to steer the ship to safely 
but it’s is tossed on stormy seas
like a rag doll thrown by a petulant toddler

Suddenly, the ebon sky is illuminated
By an intense golden beam - a death ray
Which pierces the bow of steamer
with pinpoint accuracy
White smoke billows, fire rages 
Countless lives will be lost

Will the Martians conquer the world?
I won’t spoil it for you…
Just listen to the album story to find out
Believe me you won’t regret it!!
