A special themed edition of Classic Rock magazine puts a re-recording of Rick Wakeman’s 1974 Journey To The Centre of the Earth live album centre stage. The issue is made up of a 132-page tribute and promises debts, deba- cles and disappearing scripts – as well as the “full journey story” of the Royal Festival Hall gigs. Inside, the prog keyboardist gives
his “most revealing interview yet” and says that he was living in a basement flat in Essex, earning £18 a week when he graced the cover of MelodyMaker as ‘Tomorrow’s Superstar’ in the Seventies. On the subject of his on again/off

again relationship with band Yes, Wakeman says cracks started to show when the ‘pot-smoking hip- pies’ insisted on including excessive- ly long instrumentals in 1973’s release Tales from Topographic Oceans.
