Wakeman disowned the Union recording. The producer took his MIDI tracks and replaced the sounds behind Rick's back. Pretty sacrilegious. That was a big topic in Keyboard magazine for a while (Rick: "I wouldn't trust him with a food mixer"). The producer had his counter-argument which was followed by many letters to the magazine, and not one letter defended the producer.

It was a two record set and had just one small solo part I liked.
Specifically, the Mini solo here:

This style was a lot like much of the soloing on "White Rock", including the rarely used Mini noise modulation.
Yep - great solo and patch. It's also the first sound I try and copy on every synth and, until some of the recent MM VSTs, a sound that no other synth could make!
