    WOTW Original 1938 Radio Broadcast

    Hi all,

    Download or stream the original War Of The Worlds 1938 radio broadcast by Orson Welles set in "Grovers Mill, NJ"...........this is mad!

    Download Here >>> http://www.archive.org/details/OrsonWellesMrBruns

    The broadcast is about an hour long, it's now 74 years old, & I think it's still brilliant, a very clever piece of radio broadcasting!

    I am assuming that this isn't the War of the Worlds that's on CD with David Essex

    Isn't "1938 radio broadcast by Orson Welles" a bit of a give-away? Er.......hello!

    Is this radio broadcast used as the voiceover between tracks in that cd?

    It's a real slice of the past. Kinda reminds me of Bioshock with that old gritty sound quality.
    It's held up remarkably well considering it's age.
