Gastenboek van Rick van der Linden en Ekseption

In IO pages, het tijdschrift over progressieve muziek is ter ere van het jubileumnummer 150 een lijst gepubliceerd met de meest geliefde 150 albums aller tijden van Nederlandse progbands. De afgelopen weken konden de lezers hun favoriete album doorgeven.Het is goed om te zien dat het eerste album van Trace op nummer 9 eindigd. Toch wel heel trots op. Nog voor Atlantis van Earth & Fire en bijvoorbeeld See see the sun van Kayak.Het album Birds staat op nummer 82 en 00.04 van Ekseption op 94 en daar vlak achter op nummer 100 Beggar Julia's time trip van Ekseption.Geen gek resultaat, al had ik Trinity van Ekseption ook in de lijst verwacht.

Hello Inez and Toni,

I am a fan of Ekseption and especially of Rick. It is a huge loss for Music. To continue to honour him through his music it is a need and an important pleasure to play his music because of one or two books of his score music included his wonderful solos !

That's what i mean Bert , therefor we need this boxset - all albums nicely remastered in their original cover, a comprehensive 40 page booklet containing rare photo's etc. plus some extra space for one or more discs containing 'rarities' like a live recording from f.i. Akersloot. Most boxsets of the bands i mentioned include at least one disc containing 'rare' material. Besides that there seems to be a (big?) market for such boxset releases as most of them are completely -sold out- within a year!.

Hi Tony,
A box of Ekseption is not necessary, but what should be very interesting are the LIVE performances of Ekseption; i know there are LIVE-performances of Ekseption81, in Akersloot and 't Zand with the members Max Werner,Bert Veldkamp& Johan Slager; i hope this will be put on cd or when not possible than on a "bootleg" like the many concerts of ELP who appeared on bootlegs on "Manticore"

Just wondering... Last few years have seen the release of quite a few 'boxsets' from famous Dutch bands like Golden Earring, Kayak, Earth & Fire, Shocking Blue, Sandy Coast, Livin' Blues, Outsiders containing their complete original output packed in the original lp-sleeve covers from back-in-the-days. .... Now why shouldn't this be possible for the Ekseption catalogue as well.?? Or is this maybe a too big 'copyright' thing towards the classic themes?..
