Hi all, I just saw (months late) that Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds has been expanded and remixed, and Richard Burton's iconic narration has been replaced by Liam Neeson (...in 3D!). Not sure how much the music itself has been changed/restructured/modified, but I'd imagine it's pretty different. Anyway, the live shows are apparently in surround and the album is scheduled for release in mid-June in the UK. A special edition has surfaced on Amazon.co.uk as well, but no mention of the contents has been made. Hopefully, we'll be treated to a high quality studio surround sound mix.
