The record mentioned was my introduction to the War of the Worlds. I had a much older cousin who played this album at least once per day for months. As I grew older I read the story and the various adaptations of the story and it has always been a favorite of mine. I still have great memories of the music and the story as it was told by the album - the standouts to me are "the chances of anything coming from Mars is a million to one they said" and "OOOOOLAAAAAH". That album may be what tipped me towards science fiction as well now that I think about it.
