'Sixty Minutes With Rick Wakeman' manages to cover most aspects of Rick's solo career from the classical to the symphonic and back to the progressive rock.

The collection begins with Jane Seymour and ends with Catherine Howard two tracks that first appeared on Rick's hugely successful Six Wives Of Henry The VIII album in between those two tracks is over thirty years of magnificent keyboard based music including aversion of Starship Trooper/Wurm which is drawn from the album Fields Of Green.

This particular track whilst being known as a song by Yes has now become a stage favourite of Rick and the New English Rock Ensemble's live set. Rick's re interpretation of it here is as you can imagine suitable over the top but still retains its inherent charm.

Proving also that Rick can sometimes venture into the mainstream we have included the track from Rick's hugely popular album 1984. This musical adaptation of George Orwell's classic literary piece featured guest appearances from Tim Rice and Jon Anderson. More importantly on the track Julia American soul and funk vocalist Chaka Khan lends her vocal talents to the beautiful ballad Julia which along with the title track is featured on this compilation.
