His role in his adaptation of The War of the Worlds went from composer to voice actor, as he put together the entire musical work himself, and played the vocal part of NASA radio men in the final track of the original 1978 release. The record was re-released in 1995 on audio CD with five tracks remastered and added onto the second disk that were mostly created without the input of Jeff Wayne. Earlier, Jeff Wayne helped produce David Essex's album Rock On. Essex was later recruited by Wayne as a voice actor in The War of the Worlds, playing the part of The Artilleryman.
