Reviews
That's some far out prog groove stuff right here man.- Iconic Baroque + Prog fusion I didn’t know I needed in my life
Also, the BBC Old Grey Whistle Test performance turns out to just be Rick and some lads from the Strawbs miming in the studio! Not what I expected!- Just wanted to note that whilst the quad mix on the DVD-Audio is great fun, it is very clearly audibly a 'vinyl rip' from a rather crackly copy of the original quad vinyl! (You can hear the needle noises in many of the track intros and outros). I guess A&M must have lost the mastertapes.
- simply cannot argue against a pale khaki caddie 🙃😉 corker
Stunning virtuoso keyboard driven symphonic prog-rock of (some say pompous & overwrought) tunes combining rock & classical elements w/ melodic orchestral passages, honky-tonk piano breaks & bombastic synthesizers. Includes support from Yes men Chris Squire & Steve Howe & excellent drum work from Alan White & Bill Bruford
Can at times be overwhelming but has some brilliant enjoyable dynamic & unique moments.
I do like this album, there are times when it properly goes off on one in the best tradition.
Also, although it may look like standard black, hold your copy up to the light. You might see that it is actually a deep bloody red.- Very nice sound quality on this release. Pressing is lovely too. Amazed how good this reissue sounds.
I made a needledrop of one of the tracks from this vinyl record - You can find it on the right side in the videos - Under the name: Rick Wakeman - Anne Of Cleves (1990 German Vinyl) 
I was 14 in 1973, everyone I knew at school had a copy, it was up there with DSOTM. Nearly 50 yrs on I still love it and my original copy plays perfectly.
The opening of Anne Boleyn gets me every time.
“Divorced, beheadead, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!”
Well, I thought this would be the Wakeman album that I enjoyed, but that didn't come to fruition. The lineup on this record really seems promising, and they do a good job with their instruments, but it just doesn't work as an album. It's boring. I guess it's got to be the songwriting, it just comes off extremely weak, and overly centered around wakemans keys, which is to be expected as it's his album. The only thing I enjoyed at times on this album was some or the drumming and grooves, like in the final track.
Maybe this sounded really cool in the first half of the 70s but in 2021 this sounds wack as hell.
