Notes: (***) Yet another compilation of material from Wakeman's more
recent catalogue, the original 3-disc version of My Inspiration
included every track from The Official Bootleg (bar Adam Wakeman's
one piece) and White Rock II. The 3-disc edition was withdrawn from
circulation and replaced by a 2-disc version, which matches the contents
of discs one and two listed above. The combination of tracks makes for
a surprisingly effective collection, but hardly essential to any but the
most
devoted collectors. (Ray Riethmeier, 19 Dec 02)
