This is for those that like myself collect The War Of The Worlds memorabilia. Since 1897, there has been a whole host of various items based around or with a direct connection with H.G Wells now famous novel of a Martian invasion upon the English countryside. With the release of the Paramount Pictures (2005), Jeff Wayne Music (2007) and Pendragon Pictures (2005) movies based around the novel, there is now better time for the collector to start adding new and old items to there collection.<br /><br />This is a basic guide spread over a period of what was availible, what is availible and what is coming availible in the collectors world of The War Of The Worlds. <br /><br />THE WAR OF THE WORLDS COLLECTIBLE'S - Part Three<br /><br />'The Eve Of The War' - From Jeff Wayne's Musical Version Of The War Of The Worlds<br /><br />Released in 1978 - Promotional Copy<br />CBS Records - Stereo <br />7 inch Pictured Label <br />CBS S 6496<br /><br />
