Rick Wakeman - (1993) The Classical Connection

Rick's Perspective:
Notes: After going out yet again on tour with a second Classical Connection line up, it was deemed necessary to have another release to coincide with such an event and so Classical Connection II was born which was half live and half studio, which always made it an unsatisfactory compromise as far as I was concerned.
Wakey's Verdict: If you've already got Classical Connection in your collection, then I suppose it makes sense to have Classical Connection II as well.
