Sunday Vinyl - Stories

Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds 1978
Forty three years on and it's still a brilliant album. With the rich sound of Richard Burton narrating David Essex with his unmistakable Cockney accent and the brilliant singer Julie Covington who did the best version of Don't cry for me Argentina but stupidly turned the part down in the West End musical Evita. I still feel sad when Thunderchild is destroyed. 😞

Rick Wakeman - Journey to the centre of the earth 1974

Based on Jules Verne's novel this is Ricks musical interpretation of the science fiction story while playing 32 pianos, synthasisers and organs all at the same time. Thing is, you have to remember, back in 74 all this electronic stuff was cutting edge for us and playing in a cape, well, you couldn't help but be amazed.

My dad Had his two other albums "The six wives of Henry the eighth" and "The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" I suspect they were thrown out when he passed away?

I know it's only two albums but they took up all of the time that I'm allowed to have for Vinyl Sunday. Interestingly, my daughter, who has never heard Journey to the centre of the earth thoroughly enjoyed it!
