"Following his departure from Yes, Rick Wakeman launched his very successful solo career, and went on to release several albums which achieved millions of sales. Released here by full agreement with Rick Wakeman, this double CD features two 1976 BBC recordings from Rick and his band, The English Rock Ensemble.Disc 1 showcases a previously unreleased BBC Radio 1 ‘In Concert’ performance from London’s Hammersmith Odeon. This includes an extended version of ‘Catherine Howard’, which will be of particular interest to fans & collectors as this track, complete with extended guitar solo, has never appeared on an official live recording before now. Disc 2 contains the complete ‘Old Grey Whistle Test’ TV recording. Only part of this concert was originally broadcast by the BBC. The 16 page CD booklet includes extensive liner notes, including comments from Rick, plus full recording details, and rare period photographs."
