Phil leads us into the King Arthur legend.
"The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" was Rick Wakeman's second studio album for A&M Records and also the third which he himself describes as a solo album.
It was released on 27 March 1975.
It is a concept album based on the stories and characters of the King Arthur legend.
It actually fulfils the worst prog clichés: a mythological theme, bombastic orchestral music, massive use of choirs.
At the beginning, a meaningful voice announces the well-known prophecy about the sword in the stone - whoever pulls it out shall be king of Britain 🇬🇧 .
Drum rolls and fanfares then introduce the first track, "Arthur", which tells how Arthur finds the stone and pulls out the sword. The music is the soundtrack to a costume ham. Which should not be taken negatively, please.
Wakeman began writing the music in 1974 while recovering from a heart attack, and recorded it with his five-piece band and the English Rock Ensemble and the New World Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir.
It is progressive rock at its best. I love it 🥰 !
Thank you, your Majesty our King 🤴Phil, for sharing this legend.

Thank so much for this Phil. You really do come up with the best vinyl playback on YT. The equipment and playback quality are always top notch. I shared a room with my older brother in the seventies and I've loved this album ever since he played it to death on his Dansette :)

I've got a request Phil. Two great tracks on vinyl - either or. "State Of Independence" by Donna Summer, or "Gorecki" by Lamb.

[@AudioPhil1]

Great suggestions - I've put them on the list!
