Rick Robson wrote: Some people wrong about Rick Wakeman's debut, although it's not my favourite, this is the correct one: Piano Vibrations (1971):

Rick Wakeman wrote: Rick's Perspective Notes This was never meant to be a solo album and to be honest I certainly don't count it as a solo album in any respect. True it is a piece of history, but not one I'm proud of. I was actually booked to play piano on a session at Pye Studios in London's Marble Arch and it was to play on some backtracks for an unknown singer who was due in later that week to put his vocals on. Shortly afterwards I started having some success with Strawbs and the next thing we knew was that the album was being put out by PYE Records as "Piano Vibrations" with no vocalist and with a picture of me on the back. I was unhappy and A&M Records, who had Strawbs and myself signed, were furious. I received £9 for my trouble.

^A pound a track is pitiful, even in a Seventies economy.
