I assume you're talking about the Jeff Wayne version Erol... if so, it's awesome.

| Do you know that this story of 'World of the wars' was actually first broadcasted from an American Radio station back in the time when there used to be story telling from the radio? When it was broadcasted it was the time that most Americans were coming back from work and they were shocked hearing it when they turned on the radio and started running in the streets thinking there was a mars invasion for real. |

Very true, Orson Wells was criticised for causing mass panic on the streets. Having listened to his broadcast, it was a piece of genius and would have sounded most convincing at the time. |
