War Of The Worlds is a superb album.
I never tire of listening to it.

You should go and see the live show if you can - it is SUPERB!!! Includes a fighting machine on stage, original artwork in the background, and a suspended "head" of Richard Burton with computer animated features doing the narration. Ullah!!!!!!!!! (I saw it in Brighton 3 years ago, Russell Watson was Parson Nathaniel and Justin Hayward sang his original parts. Geoff Wayne himself conducted!

Re: 1st Album & Single you ever bought

I've posted in this thread twice!! I'd forgot i'd already posted nearly 2 years ago. I'd put my first single as Crazy Little Thing Called love on the other post, my memories must be a little hazy!

first single was Albatross by Fleetwood Mac(1969)
first album was David Bowie(1969) later retitled Space Oddity for some obsure reason.Personaly i think it should have been called Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed,a state i have been in for the last 40 plus years
