Supporting
the siteRecollection

This site evolved from my Rick Wakeman discography which I started back in about 1996 or 1997. Eventually I decided I wanted to make more of it and purchased the domain name rickwakeman.co.uk but not long after that Rick indicated that he'd like to have that for himself so I happily released it. I settled on the domain recollection.co.uk in order to keep the Wakeman theme but it also seemed to have potential for a broader personal music site - one could even say it sounds like "record collection".

At one stage this site was a lot bigger but I decided I really had to shrink it down to something that I might be interested in maintaining. First to go were my pages on Adam Wakeman, Oliver Wakeman and Michelle Young as I wasn't keeping them sufficiently up to date for my tastes and really I was just recycling information from their official sites. The appropriate photos above now link to their official sites. More recently I have pulled my pages on Nektar, Pilot, Claire Hamill, Patrik Isaksson and Tracy Hitchings. With the exception of Tracy Hitchings the others have reasonably useful official sites now and I haven't had anything to add about Tracy for years, so again the photos now link to the official sites. This leaves just the following:

Rick Wakeman

I have a comprehensive discography of Rick's solo works.

Chrissie Hammond

I have a sub-site about Chrissie Hammond who doesn't seem to have an official site or much written about her. I haven't got too much to say either but a voice like that deserves support.

Colin Blunstone

I have a one page chatty discography on Colin's solo works and albums featuring him as the lead singer, which is more than his official site has, sadly.

Secret Service

Just the one page talking about this excellent Swedish group who didn't seem to break through in the UK, if indeed they ever tried to.

Use of the URL http://recollection.co.uk used to cause the site to be loaded inside a frame which has caused problems with visibility to search engines. Therefore I now make that domain redirect to http://anidea.co.uk/recollection/. If you are quoting the name of the site to others or are bookmarking it I still encourage the use of the recollection.co.uk form of the URL (shown at the bottom of every page). However if you are linking from other web pages or suggesting it as a link to others I now encourage the use of the underlying URL.
