Rick Riorden

Giving an official release to some wonderful historic concerts previously only available to a few people, keyboard legend Rick Wakeman is releasing Box Of Boots: Set of 10 Live CDs: Official Bootleg Series on December 2, 2019. This is a response to these concerts being heavily bootlegged throughout the years and continuing the trend of Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Pearl Jam… Rick has decided to make stand against the bootleggers and supply official bootlegs which have been cleaned up in the studio, packaged in a great way at a fraction of the price saving fans from buying them off the black market!

One of the premier rock keyboardists of the progressive era, Rick Wakeman cut his teeth as a London session musician at the tail-end of the 1960s before earning star status as a member of prog rock superstars Yes in 1971. He left the band in 1973 to concentrate on his burgeoning solo career and within a few years had released a trio of ambitious, classical rock albums that proved highly successful: The Six Wives of Henry VIII, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Wakeman briefly rejoined Yes in the late '70s, and during the next decade produced the film score for Ken Russell's Lisztomania; he also co-wrote a musical version of George Orwell's 1984 with lyricist Tim Rice.

Having cut their teeth in the mid-60s' Brum Beat explosion, Rick Price and Mike Sheridan had enjoyed a musical collaboration for many years but it was the formation of the Gemini label that truly cemented their songwriting partnership. Comprising their entire Gemini output including two albums and singles, this 2CD set also introduces 12 previously unreleased Rick Price solo tracks and explores a hitherto uncharted side of the late 60s' Birmingham scene through two of its key protagonists.

Best known for his global 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up," Rick Astley is an icon of British pop, his style marked by a rich, deep voice and love of classic soul and R&B. An overnight sensation, Astley topped the U.K. charts with 1987's Whenever You Need Somebody and again hit the Top Ten with 1988's Hold Me in Your Arms, albums that also reached the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned more hits like "Together Forever" and "Whenever You Need Somebody." However, looking for more creative autonomy, Astley broke with his production team for 1991's Free before largely stepping away from the spotlight. He reemerged with 2005's Portrait and gained widespread viral fame via the "rickrolling" meme, a phenomenon he purportedly found amusing, and which brought a wave of renewed interest in his work, leading to him winning Best Act Ever award at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards. In 2016, Astley released 50, an organic, soul-infused production returned to the top of the U.K. Albums Chart. He has continued to enjoy a career renaissance with releases like 2018's Beautiful Life and 2023's Are We There Yet?
