It’s time for another fanpack and this time Rick Wakeman re-records his classic album “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” and adds an extra twenty minutes of music to the mix.
Here I am opening the pack and having a delve inside. Enjoy!

As requested, I cast my beady eye over the seventh studio album from Yes. Wakeman’s off and Moraz is in, but does the album lose or win? You’ll have to watch the video to find out!
