The organ on ‘Jane Seymour’ was recorded at St. Giles, Cripplegate. ‘Katherine Of Aragon’ was engineered and mixed at Trident Studios, London. ‘Anne Boylen’ was engineered at Morgan Studios, London, and mixed at Trident Studios. All the remaining tracks were engineered and mixed at Morgan Studios. All titles written and arranged by Rick Wakeman, except for the Hymn at the end of ‘Anne Boylen’ which is 'The Day Thou Gavest Lord Hath Ended' (E.J. Hopkins, arr. Rick Wakeman). Recorded between February and October, 1972. All songs published by Rondor Music. This album is based around my interpretations of the musical characteristics of the wives of Henry VIII. Although the style may not always be in keeping with their individual history, it is my personal conception of their characters in relations to keyboard instruments. - Rick. Made in West Germany
