These live recordings of the new
English Rock Ensemble (featuring original singer
Ashley Holt) from 1989-1991 were originally plagued with tape dropouts, so
Wakeman overdubbed them for this release. It features some less familiar material -- selections from
No Earthly Connection and
Time Machine, plus a previously unreleased song -- along with the expected excerpts from
The Six Wives of Henry VIII and
The Myths and Legends of King Arthur.
Holt is his usual stentorian self, and the
Six Wives and
King Arthur material has sounded better elsewhere.
