Tempting if overwhelming.   But what a great artist, I was reminiscing about some dusty old stage circa '72 draped in an ancient Persian and covered in twisted bowels of components, keyboards, warbling speakers, power cords, cobbled together sound-producers, organs and 'trons.   A bygone era.

Criminal Record not considered to belong to the"Prog years"?

Sorry Rick, as much as I like you that's more Rick than I really need. It would take me years to get through that lot.

This is the problem with these 'everything but the kitchen sink' box sets, isn't it? It took me long enough to properly consume the VDGG and Focus sets... this would take me a decade! Embarrassed

Rick's back catalogue is almost as daunting as Tangerine Dream's. Wacko

I'll be honest, I stopped at 'Poland' and followed the trail of breadcrumbs back home.. Embarrassed

I've heard a lot of this stuff already, not much interest in this box set. I would rather see CD re-issues of Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record and Rhapsodies.
