[x] Forever Wayne

The War Of The Worlds by Jeff Wayne merits inclusion somehow, but can't figure out how to get it in.

The single "Forever Autumn" was credited to Justin Hayward (I've got it) but on the album it just says:

"Featuring in alphabetical order:
Richard Burton
Julie Covington
David Essex
Justin Hawyard
Phil Lynott
Jo Partridge
Chris Thompson"

on the cover.

On the inner in small type against each song we have things like:
"Forever Autumn
Lyrics by Paul Vigrass & Gary Osborne
Music by Jeff Wayne
Script by Doreen Wayne
Vocals performed by Justin Hayward
Featuring Richard Burton"

Similarly for "The Eve Of The War".

"Thunderchild" similarly has credits mentioning:
"Vocals performed by Chris Thompson"

All the other songs have things like:
"Featuring Richard Burton, Julie Covington & Phil Lynott".

At the back of the book you've got the full lineup of who played (all star cast, includes Spedding and Flowers) but there's no suggestion that this is a "band" as such.

Any suggestions as to how we treat this? I'd give my right arm to find a way to get David Essex in ...

I keep trying to get David Essex in through his collab with Catherine Zeta Jones but no such luck. A ruling on 'original cast' recordings might help...

War of the Worlds looks probably unrecordable (to me) - it's by the solo artist Jeff Wayne - but he doesn't play on it.
