Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds – 30 th Anniversary Edition (Sony) Hot on the heels of the 2005 Special Edition, the 2006 remixes and the 2007 highlights packages comes this 2009 30 th Anniversary edition of Jeff Wayne’s long-cherished opus, this time as a USB memory stick with myriad extras. First things first: the USB, apparently supposed to resemble a Martian craft, looks like a grey crap and has the leaden lug of a corporate paperweight. Plug it in and it lights up with barely-registering green lights. So far, so unimpressive. The content itself is going to need to be pretty exceptional to warrant this hoo-ha and weighty box with magnetic flap, so what do we get exactly?

Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of The War of The Worlds has grown into a true classic, garnering a new generation of devoted followers, whilst inspiring the faithful listeners from the past decades. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jeff Wayne’s multi-platinum award-winning work, a special Limited Edition box-set of 2006’s debut UK Arena tour.

The original album, obviously, the best of the many remixes, a game entitled ‘The Last Artilleryman’, ringtones, wallpapers, an e-book documenting the story of the recording, a video greeting from Jeff Wayne himself, and the chance to enter a remix competition. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it, my fellow TWOTW geeks? Second things second: the USB is useless. For the extortionate sum of £30 you can marvel at a game that rips off ‘Tanks’ for the BBC Computer and will take you five minutes to decide it’s as dull as a sink, a shockingly poor music video where a Victorian woman walks around a park, a smug and blink-quick chat with Jeff Wayne (“we used to have vinyl now we have memory sticks.”), a collection of already-available remixes, a book you can read online (: just saved you 30 quid) in which Herbie Flowers says things like “I was STRAIGHT out of the room, mate”, and an album you already own. It looks as if you’d be better off with the alternative package which features, alongside a DVD of the reportedly stunning live show, a copy of the original H.G. Before turning into the prog rock version of the Which Guide, it’s probably advisable to praise the album itself which, although patchy and dented by visions of forty-year-old men crying because their only son prefers Transformers, has weathered well. Compositionally, it will never escape comparison to Wagnerian leitmotifs, which is unfair on Wagnerian leitmotifs.
