Comments: This album is surprosingly not bad, (except for Mr. Holt,
how long has Wakeman been keeping this guy around?) These
renditions are surely better than the same songs on Greatest Hits.
I just wonder how many times more Rick will play these same
songs over and over and rerelease. An album of new material might
have been better. Still, some of the arrangements are interesting
if unoriginal. (***)
