    Famously, this album was called "Onion" by Rick Wakeman..... because it made him cry! A right old hotchpotch. Fortunately the Union tour in 1991 was tremendous.

      Sound is a disappointment. Was hoping for more bottom end. Midrange heavy. Likely from a digital source. Just seems compressed. Almost an MP3 sound. The CD version is superior to this vinyl version . No “Wow” factor here. this one by.
