	Crimes Of Passion Used - Vinyl - RW3 1986 Original Soundtrack. Cover Is VG++, Vinyl Appears Unplayed. “For The Score To Ken Russell's 1984 Erotic Thriller Crimes Of Passion, Rick Wakeman Enlisted A Couple Of His Usual Co-Conspirators In Strawbs Members Tony Fernandez (Drums) And Charles Cronk (Bass). Guitarist Rick Fenn (Mike Oldfield, 10cc) And Session Saxophonist Bimbo Acock Are Also Given A Fair Amount Of Work. Incorporating Dvorák's Ninth Symphony Throughout -- Rather Misleadingly, Neither The Sleeve Notes Nor Writing Credits Do Anything To Indicate This -- The Score To Crimes Of Passion Is Generally Upbeat Synth Rock Without A Great Deal Of Flashy Showmanship From The Composer. The Main Selling Point For Non-Wakeman Fanatics Is "It's A Lovely Life," A Driving Hard Rock Song Featuring Scottish Belter Maggie Bell. She's Also Featured On The Closing "Dangerous Woman," A Relatively Contemporary Pop Song With Surprisingly Little Of Wakeman's Imprint.” - Andy Kellman, AMG more

	Journey To The Center Of The Earth Audiophile - Vinyl - MFSL 1-230 Sealed 1995 Limited Edition, Foil Numbered, Half-Speed Mastered 200gm Anadisc Housed In A Deluxe Gatefold Cover. This Is Number 0867. “There Really Are Very Few Artists Who Have Actually Made A Significant Contribution To Furthering Music. Rick Wakeman Is One. It's Most Apparent In This Album, A Bright And Shining Landmark On The Progressive Landscape. The Undertaking Was Monumental And The Result Outstanding. There Are A Handful Of Mistakes Littering The Performance That Even The Casual Listener Can Catch, But They Only Emphasize The Amazing Technical And Logistic Complexity Of Writing, Rehearsing, Performing, And Capturing This Piece. They've Become A Part Of The Experience, Much Like Sting Accidentally Sitting On The Piano And Laughing At The Beginning Of Roxanne. And Over 40 Years Later, This Album Is Still Incredibly Listenable And Fresh.” Steve Smith, AMG. more

"Journey to the Centre of the Earth" is a progressive rock album by British keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released in 1974. The album is a musical adaptation of Jules Verne's classic science fiction novel of the same name.

The album is structured in a continuous suite, capturing the dramatic and adventurous essence of Verne's narrative. The recording features Wakeman's elaborate keyboard work, including the use of synthesizers, organ, and piano, which are interwoven with the rich orchestral and choral textures. The album was recorded live at the Royal Festival Hall in London on January 18, 1974, and it became a commercial success, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart.

	Live At Hammersmith Used - Vinyl - RW 2 Beautiful 1985 Original. “Taking Excerpts From The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur, The Six Wives Of Henry VIII, And Journey To The Center Of The Earth, This Live Hour Of Keyboard Work From London's Hammersmith Odeon Is A Short But Pleasant Array Of Wakeman's Progressive Style. Consisting Of Four Tracks, The Longest And Most Entertaining Being A 22-Minute Version Entitled "Journey," This "In Concert" Album Is One Of His Better Attempts At Playing To An Audience. Wisely Choosing His Most Popular Keyboard Excursions, The Tracks Here Showcase Wakeman's Ability To Concoct Energy In A Live Atmosphere, But Also Demonstrates His Piano Playing Finesse. Wakeman's Band Helps Him Along Quite Nicely, Especially Vocalists Rick Fern And Gordon Neville, And The Tight Drumming Of Tony Fernandez On The "Three Wives" Medley. Like Most Of Wakeman's Live Albums, His Improvised Synth Work Builds Musical Suspense Even When The Tracks Are Familiar.” – Mike Degagne, AMG more

	Rhapsodies Used Import - AMP-9003~4 Rare 1979 Japanese 2LP promo label, gatefold pressing complete with 2 Obi strips & insert. NOT the purple & yellow Obi strip variation. Rhapsodies is Wakeman stepping away from prog spectacle and into melodic reflection. Shorter, self-contained pieces replace epic suites, letting his keyboard voice speak with clarity and restraint. Classical influences, gentle jazz touches, and pastoral moods drift through the record, elegant without excess. Warm, accessible, and thoughtfully composed, Rhapsodies reveals Wakeman as a craftsman of atmosphere as much as virtuosity, music that invites rather than overwhelms. more

	The Family Album Used - Vinyl - RW 4 Mint 1987 Gatefold Original. “On This Highly Personal Album, Part Of "The Rick Wakeman New Age Collection," Wakeman Turns The Interpretive Skills He Once Applied To Henry VIII's Six Wives To A Subject Much Closer To Home: His Own Family. His Parents, His Wife Nina, His Children, And His Pets All Get Their Musical Portraits Painted As Keyboard Instrumentals. Several Of The Pieces Are Calm And Peaceful Like Much New Age Music, While Some Subjects, Such As Wiggles The Rabbit, Inspire More Upbeat And/Or Complex Pieces. The Lyrical "Nina" Was Later Rewritten As "The Meeting" For The Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe Album.” - Stephen Raiteri, All Music Guide more

	The Six Wives Of Henry VIII Used Import - AMP-7050 1979 Japanese Reissue, The Fourth Variant From Japan. With Obi & Insert. Super Clean Copy. "Not Only Did This Album Help Pave The Way For Progressive Rock, But It Also Introduced The Unbridled Energy And Overall Effectiveness Of The Synthesizer As A Bona Fide Instrument. Six Wives Gave Wakeman His Chance To Break Away From The Other Instrumental Complexities That Made Up Yes And Allowed Him To Prove What A Driving Force The Keyboard Could Truly Be, Especially In Full Album Form. More Than Just Synthesized Wandering, Wakeman Astoundingly Conjures Up A Separate Musical Persona By Way Of An Instrumental Ode To Each Of Henry VIII's Wives Through His Dazzling Use Of The Mellotron, Moog, And Hammond C-3 Organ. For Example, Wakeman's Fiery Runs And Fortissimo Thwarting Of The Synthesizer Throughout "Anne Boleyn" Is A Tribute To Her Feisty Temper And Valiant Courage That She Maintained While Standing Up To Her Husband. With "Jane Seymour," On The Other Hand, Wakeman's Playing Is Somewhat Subdued And Gentle, Which Coincides With Her Legendary Meekness And Frailty, As Well As Her Willingness To Cater To Henry Viii. Wakeman's Masterful Use Of His Synthesizers Is Instrumentally Stunning, As Is His Talent Of Magically Shaping The Notes To Represent Behavioral Idiosyncrasies Of His Characters. Yes Bassist Chris Squire Lends A Hand On "Catherine Of Aragon," While Guitarist Steve Howe And Drummer Bill Bruford Appear On A Few Tracks As Well, As Does Former Strawbs Member Dave Cousins, Playing The Electric Banjo. The Six Wives Of Henry Viii Unleashes The Unyielding Power Of The Keyboard As A Dominant Instrument, But Also Displays Wakeman At The Beginning Of An Extremely Resplendent Career As A Solo Musician."
