Notes
Matte gatefold cover.
A2 reads "Anne Of Cleves" on cover, but "Ann Of Cleaves" on label.
Recorded between February and October, 1972.
All songs published by Rondor Music.
℗ 1973
Sleeve printed and made in England
Vinyl appears to be translucent red when held against strong light.
The inner runout groove on Side B has a continuation from 'Catherine Parr' and loops until input.
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 Stereo 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.
All titles written and arranged by Rick Wakeman, except for the Hymn at the end of ‘Anne Boylen’ which is 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended' (E.J. Hopkins, arr. Rick Wakeman).
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.
Runouts are etched.
This appendix can be found additionally on side B runout: TROG, NORMO, FLANNEL, N ' KRAPCAKE

Reviews

I do like this album, there are times when it properly goes off on one in the best tradition.
Also, although it may look like standard black, hold your copy up to the light. You might see that it is actually a deep bloody red. -
Look carefully, and you can see Richard Nixon in the background of the cover photograph (taken at Madam Tussauds)
