Rick Wakeman White Rock

[gordvass]

I had this on vinyl. The ex has it now :)

[randomrob1968]

20 pounds for Rick Wakeman?  F that.

[raymondrayban]

OH i do like this! someone has used this on utube! as a backing music of theMET POLICE DOING AN EMERGENCY LIVER RUN ! by THE MET TRAFFIC DIVISION! check it out! its AWESOME!

[bubblabu]

Just incredible

[ajaxman046]

I still have the vinyl lp - bought many years ago at either HMV or Virgin in the Arndale Centre in Manchester. I 'd heard a couple of the tracks and was really pleased to find it. Still in good condition but I won't be parting with it

[neeoh100]

Ricky....class of his own..

[metalheadnick555]

This reminds me way more of ELP than of Rick Wakeman...good stuff

[G4MOF]

@metalheadnick555 It sounds so much like ELP your right maybe it's the MOOG..

[glaucoaster]

Si Muy Bueno " ., gracias por publicar " .

[DavidNeanders]

I'm drunk.

This sounds like tame madness.

Live on Wakeman!!!!!

[notrealy180217]

i wander if rick was on coke lol

[thezaylady]

There are some songs that come on like a storm and don't allow you to breathe until it's over. This is one of them.

[TheArihudaya]

I had this album on a cassette.........thank you for posting.

[Beetlebank]

ebay. £4.49 buy-it-now, postage free...

[marg1919]

I have the LP but not on CD. Would love it on my I Pod!

[geofseven]

Trying t get the whole album - preferably a CD - but the record in good condition would be fine

Any ideas where I can find it at a sensible price>???

[neil73]

@geofseven Try amazon or ebay. Im sure this was released on Japanese markets as a cd. But as others have pointed out, its a rare album and may cost a fair bit

[geofseven]

@neil73 Thanks for that - I did see a Japanese CD - but

I can live without it for £50=+ prices

I would pay up to a max of £20= - but it is just one of many albums that I would like

so if I can't get it then it's tough.

Maybe I will find a record one day - I can transfer it to CD for Car listening or to convert for MP3 player. Don't mind records.

[neil73]

@geofseven I sometimes have a look around charity shops at old vinyl and in the past have found old Wakeman lp's. I think that may be your best bet at the moment. It amazes me that its so expensive and even tempts me to sell it!

[armalyte]

@geofseven i picked it up on ebay i believe for about 20 pounds a few years ago and it is a jap import...was worth every penny, too 

[adlertc]

I'm a proud owner of this LP too! Never seen another but mine here in Brazil!

[SDsailor7]

I had this great album on 8 track!

[nixwrf]

This is Awesome with effects and Hefty Chunk Bass this would make a Mad Psy Track..

[nezymana]

I play this track almost every day !

[101xfmrogers]

First time I heard this song on the closing theme of a radio show I thought it was ELP.

[zenmachinefilms]

Blazingly awesome track, and a great album. Great movie too if you get a chance to see it.

I had a friend who tried to learn to cover this song, if you can believe it, he came fairly close. Needless to say, not easy.

[hafstrat]

I could never quiet get my minimoog voyager old school to sounf quite like this....close but no cigar.

[monseigneur16]

it sounds a bit like hoedown....

[dvgulliver]

Actually, the first time I heard this, I thought it sounded more like Keith Emerson than Rick Wakeman.  But that's ok, I love them both and love this song.

[usm7j]

I would love to lock Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson & Alan Parsons in the same studio and hear the end product.

[musicfromhell]

One of Wakeman's trademarks are those trills. Very frilly and classical sounding. Otherwise the overall mood of the song is rather Emerson-like.

[paulsimoncrompton32]

I really like this too, I do have all his music on tape, alot on LP and some Dvds...... Well I have what I have and I like the comments on here.

Take care people and the times I have met Rick and once with Adam in the past was great.

Just got his new book that out.

- - - Got me reading again... :-)

[bubblabu]

White Rock - My Favorite Wakeman album.

[HAJATO3]

The most incredible keyboard solo of all time !! The moog was invented only for this track !! Unforgetable !!

[plose2000]

I have the LP, it was one of my favorits!! Great Rick Wakeman!!

[colmaclean]

Anyone know where to find the film this music was part of the soundtrack for?

It was a documentary film of the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics, narrated by James Coburn. Called "White Rock", funnily enough!

Can't find it anywhere...

[Jo123Jo]

I can't find it either, I think I found a couple of sites with just the album (LP) on but that cost about $600!!

If you find out let me know! Been searching for this for over 30 years now!

[neil73]

Seriously? The LP cost $600? Where was that?

[usm7j]

@neil73 I've got a vinyl LP in MINT condition. And no, it ain't for sale.

[hafstrat]

Not heard this since the 70's - lovely moog sounds licks and riffs!!

[sid1662]

My favorite Wakeman track thanks!

[BrentMB79]

Rick playing as the mini as only he can!! Brilliant!

[wakeyforever]

Yes, it is. What a wonderful track, one of my favourite Wakey tracks. I always have to play it loud. Thanks for uploading, Neil, it's a real classic and milestown.
