I recently replaced my turntable and was listening to this record. The vinyl was such poor quality it was hard to seperate the surface noise from the music. This cd is no longer in print. So I was happy when I found one on ebay. The transfer to cd is above average for this recording and far more listenable than the cheap vinyl that was used to press the original recording, ...and for $2.00 it was an excellent value. I enjoy the performances on all the keyboards from church organ to grand piano through the moogs and other synths.
I remember buying this album on vinyl way back in the 70's and was surprised at how much I liked it then. After all, it isn't exactly rock and roll which was all I really cared about back then. A friend pretty much talked me into the purchase. I recall how shocked I was those 35? odd years ago. All I really knew about Rick Wakeman was that he was a member of the band 'Yes' and played keyboards. Having not heard " The 6 Wives of Henry the 8th" for eons, I couldn't keep from buying it when I ran across it on ebay. I was stunned on my first listening. Wakeman is just incredible on this album - the only flaw is that it ends too soon. If you have to have singing - don't buy it. This album is a classic, and it rocks too. I wish I had bought it sooner on cd. Rick Wakeman is a genius. Buy it. You won't be sorry.Read full review
had this on 8 track when I was kid and played it constantly in my car so it was fun to get it again
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
I have this recording as an LP that I bought when I was in high school. I would love to have it in CD format so I can play it in my car. Rick is an excellent musician, and I can actually appreciate his talent more now that I am older. "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is great, too.
While not quite at the level of his "King Arthur" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth," this is still one of Rick Wakeman's best recordings. The intermix or synthesizer, organ, and piano is spellbinding, leaving the listener wanting more at the end. This is well worth the price.
