Some of the biggest names in the progressive rock universe are set to release limited edition vinyl gems - a must for collectors and the greatest stocking stuffers of all.
First up is the festive classic “Silent Night,” a majestic performance by keyboard genius Rick Wakeman (Yes/David Bowie/Strawbs), aboard a beautiful colored vinyl white label 12-inch single featuring four timeless Xmas favorites.
Two editions are available, on red and silver vinyl. Both are limited editions of 85 copies apiece.
Completing the release are Rick's distinctive visions of “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” “Christians Awake Salute the Happy Morn” and “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” featuring guest vocals from none other than the great William Shatner.

All three will be available in strictly limited editions of just 85 copies apiece, meaning they are sure to sell out quickly - past releases in Cleopatra’s series of limited edition white labels, by such names as Angel, Cherie Currie and the New York Dolls have sold out within days, if not hours!
