When two Jeffs collide...
I'd love to go to this but can't afford two trips to Liverpool in three months. I thought WOTW had stopped touring anyway? If I did go to a Jeff Wayne show however I'd not be happy if it didn't feature Richard Burton. Or Justin Hayward for that matter.
A few years ago I managed to get my hands on the WOTW box set with all the outtakes in and this is my most favourite outtake of anything ever, it's fantastic. It sounds as though working with Richard was marvellously easy because, as you can hear in this clip, he is extremely calm and smoothly professional ("do you want that more dramatic?").
Whenever anyone feels down with themselves, or tempted to compare themselves with someone they feel is better than they are, they should listen to this clip. In it the great Mr Burton has difficulty with the word "Billericay". Proving that even someone with arguably the greatest speaking voice of all time is not infallible at language all of the time. Nobody is always perfect, not even Richard.
