Vinyl plays nicely (play-graded). Cover looks great, a few creases near edges; scuffing and faint surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (A&M ads). Spine is easy-to-read with wear. Noticeable shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge and corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
White Rock, by Rick Wakeman, is the soundtrack to a 1977 documentary film of the same name. The film is about the 1976 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria. Wakeman had forgotten about a track he had been asked to compose, titled After the Ball. Instead of confessing to the producers that he had forgot to write something, he said he had a composition ready and proceeded to play a completely improvised track. The first take was a success, without the need to record a second take. After the Ball has become part of Wakeman's repertoire, featured on side two of this album as well as several future albums and videos. Wakeman is an English keyboardist and composer best known as a former member of the progressive rock band Yes across five tenures between 1971 and 2004, and for his solo albums released in the 1970s.
