MADFISH PRESENTS JEFF WAYNE'S MUSICAL VERSION OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (THE DELUXE COLLECTORS' EDITION) - A 16-CD & 2 BLU-RAY ANTHOLOGY

For over four decades, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds has remained a landmark in musical storytelling-boldly blending orchestral majesty, progressive rock, and literary drama. Now, Madfish presents The Deluxe Collectors' Edition - a newly curated 16-CD & 2-Blu-ray collection, carefully assembled to celebrate this enduring masterpiece in stunning detail.

Put together with Jeff Wayne's full cooperation, this exquisite 18-disc set chronicles every stage of the album's evolution, from its landmark 1978 debut to spectacular live performances, bold re-imaginings, and never-before-heard archival treasures. Relive the gravitas of Richard Burton's narration, the seismic intensity of the Martian invasion, and the powerful performances of both the original album and 2012's The New Generation, featuring the talents of Liam Neeson, Ricky Wilson, Gary Barlow, Jason Donovan, Joss Stone, Maverick Sabre and more.

INCLUDED IN THIS SET:
* 156-Page Hardback Book - Featuring a comprehensive new essay by acclaimed author Peter Doggett, stunning reimagined artwork, and an in-depth look at a treasure trove of rare memorabilia.
* 24-Page Jerry Wayne Book - A fascinating insight into the creative journey of Jeff Wayne's father, whose vision played a pivotal role in bringing this masterpiece to life.
* 12-Page Script Book - A faithful reproduction of the original script - a unique glimpse into the musical's narrative and dramatic construction.
* Detailed Story Map - A beautifully designed visual representation of The War of The Worlds storyline, charting the Martian invasion and human struggle for survival.
