Various Artists - Wondrous Stories: A Complete Introduction To Progressive Rock (2010)

4CD Box Set Universal Music

Charting the rise and popularity of progressive rock from its psychedelic routes in the 1960s through to it’s heyday in the 1970s, Wondrous Stories features all the biggest artists and tracks of the genre.The compilation includes artists such as Genesis, Caravan, Mike Oldfield, Yes, Peter Gabriel and Jethro Tull. Progressive Rock is one of the most loved and frequently debated of all musical genres. This 52 track collection is a worthy addition to Universal's much-loved A Complete Introduction To Series. Compliled by Jerry Ewing, the editor of Classic Prog magazine, it takes us on a magical, leisurely journey through the corners of this wondrous genre.For those who think it's all about pixies and trippy guitar solos, think again (although both of those are here). Wiondrous Stories: A Complete Introduction To Progressive Rock boasts brand new cover art by Roger Dean, designer of the legendary 'Yes' logo, by some of the most influential album sleeves of all time.
