Rick Wakeman - (1979) Rhapsodies

Rick's Perspective:
Notes: This album is probably the most confusing I have ever made. It contains so many differing styles that it is hard to keep track of what the album is all about. A&M decided I had to have a producer and Toni Visconti was brought on board who Igot on great with. A&M demanded everything from disco...(please, I know ) and that's how Rhapsody in Blue came about plus allsorts of other styles some of which I loved and some of which I didn't. Great sounds on tracks like March of the Gladiators though.
