Notes
Recorded between February and October, 1972.
℗ 1973. Made in England.
Instruments:
Custom built Hammond C-3 Organ, RMI Electric Piano & Harpsichord, 2 x Mini-Moog Synthesizer, Mellotron 400-D (Brass/Strings/Flutes), Mellotron 400-D (Vocals/Sound Effects/Vibes), Steinway 9’ Grand Piano, Frequency Counter, Custom Mixer.
In addition to the above instruments a Thomas Goff Harpsichord and ARP Synthesizer were used. All sounds put through two Steoreo Leslies, Fender Duel Showman Amp & two JBL Cabinets. Also used a custom built Oscillator, Fuzz & Wahwah Pedal and Binson Echo Unit. The organ on 'Jane Seymour' was recorded at St. Giles, Cripplegate.
'Catherine Of Aragon' was engineered and mixed at Trident Studios, London. 'Anne Boleyn' was engineered at Morgan Studios, London, and mixed at Trident Studios. All the remaining tracks were engineered and mixed at Morgan Studios.
The hymn at the end of 'Anne Boylen' is 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended'.
This album is based around my interpretations of the musical characteristics of the wives of Henry VIII. Although the style may not always be in keeping with their individual history, it is my personal conception of their characters in relations to keyboard instruments. - Rick.

I was 14 in 1973, everyone I knew at school had a copy, it was up there with DSOTM. Nearly 50 yrs on I still love it and my original copy plays perfectly.
The opening of Anne Boleyn gets me every time.
“Divorced, beheadead, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!”
