I am sure those of a more progressive musical bent on this forum will recall
the wonderful 'concept album' by Rick Wakeman, based on 'Journey to the
Centre of the Earth', back in the 1970's - I still have my original cassette
somewhere, from those long-forgotten days before the CD... :-)

This album is one of my all time favourites, with its' soaring musical
themes and commentary by David Hemmings using excerpts from the original
Verne text.

Now, those of us who have moved on into the DVD arena will be delighted to
hear that a special audio and video remastered edition of the concert of
'Journey to the Centre of the Earth', filmed in Australia in 1975, is now
available. The DVD quality will top any version of this seen before.

As soon as my copy arrives from Amazon, I will be penning a review for our
Launch Newsletter!

For those who can't wait, here is a link to Amazon UK:
