The eve of the war - Jeff Wayne

You wouldn't expect it when you see the sleeve (pictured here), but this is actually the Ben Liebrand remix version of 'The eve of the war' by Jeff Wayne. It certainly wasn't what I expected when I ordered this single: I simply got it for the fact that this is a Spanish promo 7" single, with just one track. That is, the B-side is empty. 

Of course, the Ben Liebrand remix is wellknown - it was released commercially in 1989 around the time when Jeff Wayne's album 'War of the Worlds' was re-released for the first time. It certainly wasn't the last time: over the past four decades Jeff Wayne has released multiple remix albums, new recordings and toured the album several times, both in the UK and in Europe. The artwork of the album remains the most beautiful reimagination of H.G. Wells' story of invading Martians.
