RICK WAKEMAN Criminal Record (1977 UK 6-track vinyl LP a concept album which is largely instrumental apart from The Breathalyser which features vocals by Bill Oddie of all people housed in a picture sleeve complete with illustrated narrative inner. The sleeve shows just a little light shelfwear and the vinyl remains near as new with few signs of play AMLK64660)
Les compositions sont vraiment bonnes et on mesure bien à quel point Rick Wakeman est un très grand claviériste avec une virtuosité incontestable voire époustouflante tout cela appuyé par une rythmique hors pair Chris Squire (basse) et Allan White (batterie). L'utilisation de l'orgue d'église est très bien amenée et réalisée: le professionnalisme de ces musiciens est indéniable.
Aussi je pense que cet album reste un des meilleurs de Rick Wakeman. A conseiller fortement.
Since it first came out on vinyl in 1977, Criminal Record has long been my favorite Wakeman album. It's truly a shame that such moving pieces as Birdman of Alcatraz, Chamber of Horrors and Judas Iscariot had to wait so long to be re-released on a limited edition CD basis in the U.S. The classically, church-trained, progressive rocker Wakeman is by far the most influential keyboardist in the 20th and 21st centuries. I rank Criminal Record to be right up there with Six Wives of Henry VIII as "1A and 1B" in Rick's long line of recorded works. Sorry, but Journey to the Centre of the Earth comes in third.
As a long term Wakeman fan. And having the privilege of working with the great man when he was on tour. I was delighted to see his back catalogue has made it through the tooth grindingly slow process of conversion from black plastic to silver disc.
The tracks I knew as a teen are now available to me on my CD player and via a quick rip to my MP3 player.
I'm not going to comment on each track as you either love or loathe the Wakeman style of instrumental presentation and some of the tones he chooses are not the most pleasant of sounds but certain tracks stand alone as classics in their own right, and there is the bonus of ex-Goody Bill Oddie's appearance on one track.
Thirty years on it is still the same pleasurable listen as it was on release, which probably is all you need to know
