My mum loves this. She has the album.

If your younger than when this came out the new one with Liam Neeson and Ricky Wilson in it might be up your street. It's got a little more of a modern twang to it but it's still essentially the same concept. It's a bit longer too with extended scenes around the artilleryman and his brave new world concept.

:amazed: I'm in town this afternoon, I'm going to treat myself to this and listen over the weekend. Well chuffed now, Ty for posting the info!

It's 17 squid on amazon atm. I don't know how cheap it will be in the shops.

Got a big booklet and all that jazz like the other one.

Ouchie! 17 quid. Hmm.

Did you the original or the modern one?

I got the original, as it was only 3 quid in What's Entertainment. I'd like the one that Kyle mentioned at some point when I have some spare dosh.

I've not given the modern one a listen, I'm a bit skeptical it would ruin it for me.

I got past that by treating it as an alternative to the original one rather than a rehash.

Must say though I was a little shocked when I first heard eve of the war because I thought they butchered it but I gave it a full listen and personally thought the second part of the album was the better version compared to the original.

I listened to the new one and though I thought Liam Neeson's narration was good, Richard Burton was better, and really defined it.

Think I'll take the approach when I get round to buying the new version

Burton is truly iconic and doubt he could be bettered so yes I think I'll feel the same when I listen to it, no detriment to Neeson who I can see doing it justice, but original is where it's at in this case overall.

I just really love listening to it, have done since childhood (yes Ben, I know that's a long time :laugh:)

Only taken me 4 months to reply. :laugh:

I'm gonna listen to the new one this weekend, but I reckon I'll feel the same as you.

It is a brilliant piece of work.
