Rick Wakeman’s latest studio album, A Gallery Of The Imagination, will be officially released by Madfish on February 24, but when Prog caught up with him three shows into his recent one-man Grumpy Christmas Stocking tour, copies were already available to fans at his merch stand.
“We just pressed up about 1,000 CDs for the tour,” the keyboard player says, “and they’re nearly all gone! I’ve been playing the two piano pieces from it and ] at the shows and they both work nicely, they’ve been getting a really good response.”
