^He was once a very regular guest on 'Countdown', I've seen him on 'Watchdog' and he made a very funny self-deprecating cameo in 'The Life Of Rock' a while back. In the 80s he had the show 'Gastank'...I've never seen it but the guests have always puzzled me! (A lot of 70s rock stars on there.)
I can well believe the sales figures of his albums, given the amount of second-hand records I've seen over the years. Seems to me he, like Sky, had a certain 'middlebrow' crossover appeal due to the overt 'classical' element that most prog generally didn't (whatever some critics claimed!).
Rick's stuff never really translated to CD that well, there's still only the old CD releases with the bare minimum of packaging, and some of the albums have only seen fairly limited release.
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
