Issue #164 (Rick Wakeman): Signed Magazine + Melancholia Silver Vinyl LP

Prog has teamed up with prog legend Rick Wakeman and Madfish Records to bring you this special limited edition bundle for Rick’s brand new piano album, Melancholia.

Melancholia is the third in Wakeman's recent run of popular piano-based albums, which began with 2017’s Piano Portraits and continued in 2018 with Piano Odyssey.

Our unique bundle couples a unique silver vinyl copy of Melancholia plus a bespoke Rick Wakeman front cover of issue 164 of Prog Magazine, signed exclusively by Rick himself. There are only 100 of these bundles available worldwide and you can only order yours here. Get your copy before they’re gone forever!

Inside the new issue of Prog…

• Rick discusses his new album, saying, “Melancholy is an emotion, and not necessarily a bad one. We all have melancholic moments, and more often than not those are when you’re on your own, perhaps just sitting with your own thoughts.“Hopefully people will have their own feelings when they hear it. It seemed that so much on the radio and television and on the news pointed to mental health and how people are feeling; it felt relevant to be making music that was emotionally tuned in.”

Also in Prog 164…

• We pay tribute to Supertramp founding member Rick Davies who sadly passed away last month. We look at his life, his greatest songs and the naming of the band’s 1974 breakthrough album, Crime Of The Century.
• Gentle Giant frontman Derek Shulman discusses a career from stage lights to record executive heights
• John Lees updates us on the first BJH album for 12 years and Lunatic Soul, Arjen Lucassen, Luke Machin, Jo Quail, The Emerald Dawn, Spriggan Mist and more discuss their new releases.
