Favoriting March 5, 2024: Lost Media Archive presents The Terrifying Tale of War of the Worlds from Album Globe Records w/ Music by The Orb
Believe it or not, the SAME label that released the "War of the Worlds" LP I played last month (which had nothing to do with the HG Wells tale) also released this OTHER "War of the Worlds" record. I only have the Test Pressing of it. Intermission music included by The Orb.

This story is... for kids? It's sounds like an X Minus One story.

Mr Fab:

So HG Wells invented the alien-invasion story? Or was it just the first famous one
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:16pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Mr Fab @8:15
I think he's pretty early on, if not one of the first. But something tells me there was probably one or two before him that are not as well known. (Or, more likely, not as good.)

Edgar Rice Burroughs was nearly a contemporary (Welles was a little older) and Burroughs had a lot of stuff about aliens and Martians and whatnot, but I can't put to mind an INVASION story. Verne wrote about US invading the Moon, so that's sort of the opposite.
Avatar 8:19pm
BC Sterrett:

I wonder which tale came first, this one or his tale of "First Men in the Moon" where humans are the alien invaders.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:21pm
Austin Rich:

"First Men in the Moon" was a few years later. War of the Worlds was first.

I am convinced that if they did a modern radio drama like this the background music would fly The Art of Noise and the Residents
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm
Austin Rich:

Though I think Verne's novel about invading the moon pre-dates all of it, who died around the time Welles was really getting a head of steam about sci-fi.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm
Austin Rich:

↳ Imaginos @8:22
I could see that.

Do you have many other records from this same label? Do you know how many there are?

Last week's record had electronic music in the background.

I have a total of 9. They're very strange. Most are still sealed and have never been opened

Woah. Very cool. Some of those kids labels put out the strangest records.

I have a ton of those. Kids records are sort of not well loved, so I see them in thrift stores all the time.

I first heard about it in the Halloween Records facebook group, when this odd Halloween record showed up: www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:34pm
Austin Rich:

↳ BC Sterrett @8:33
I've seen that, but I don't have it! I'm sort of obsessed with Halloween records... like any self-respecting Sheena's DJ.

I might. I'm trying to stay off of social media, except to promote radio, but I might have to make an exception for Halloween records.

while I'm not fond of all kid's records, I have a soft spot for The White Cat, Mellilot, and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

I like story albums, as they are often sort of weird, and good for radio. I like Disney albums, as they are often over-designed and over-produced in the best way.

It reminds me of a lost child's music box.

The dramatic "delivery" of the dialog is also pretty ridiculous.
