"This isn't my favorite Wakeman album, but it is good. If you already have his better works, like "The Six Wives of Henry the Eighth" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth," you might want to consider this."

Wakeman at His Finest

"Since it first came out on vinyl in 1977, Criminal Record has long been my favorite Wakeman album. It's truly a shame that such moving pieces as Birdman of Alcatraz, Chamber of Horrors and Judas Iscariot had to wait so long to be re-released on a limited edition CD basis in the U.S. The classically, church-trained, progressive rocker Wakeman is by far the most influential keyboardist in the 20th and 21st centuries. I rank Criminal Record to be right up there with Six Wives of Henry VIII as "1A and 1B" in Rick's long line of recorded works. Sorry, but Journey to the Centre of the Earth comes in third."
