Sorry for the mystery guys but I just wanted to add a little lightness to the forum.

 

Rick told me that they originally shot the picture to be published in black and white.  The moved the wives to the middle of the isle and Rick walked infront as the picture was taken - but the cover shot in black and white was crap - so they decided to use SEPIA or something, it lightened up the cover but also lightened up the background and no one spotted 'Tricky' Dicky appearing on the cover behind the wives.

 

Bit of ROCK Trivia

 

As I said Rick told me as he signed by original copy, showing me the picture which I had not spotted in 30 years of ownership

I know the Nixon quote, but if I recall he said it after he lost the California gubernatorial election in 1962.  Perhaps this tale is an urban myth?

 Boooooooo!   

Tales is my favorite album right now, hopefully for a while too. If Nixon liked prog, I bet he would like Tales.

If Wakeman wasn't mentioned I would have moved this already.

But I can't even understand what it is about.

This is for all those sad Rick Wakeman fans

 

Have you spotted Richard Nixon yet.  Rick had long chat in Moria Derbyshire 5 years ago and he told me when he signed my original Six Wives the story.  I hadnt spotted him till then.  Has any one else spotted Richard yet ?????
