oops!!! double post, forum was being wonky, nothing to see here
Well, OK since it's here anyway I might as well say this. I only recently became aware of the fact that after 3 decades, Jeff Wayne evidently thought he should redo this fantastic composition. I've only checked out snippets, of the "Next Generation" version but...
Liam Neeson as the narrator? I think I much preferred Richard Burton's voice, and Neeson says his lines much too fast in the brief portion I listened to. Again that's based on only a couple of very small samples so maybe I would change my mind after hearing the entire album.
But considering how much I have loved this particular work for somewhere in the vicinity of 40 years, I'm not sure I want to listen to a new version.
