Acclaimed progressive rock keyboardist Rick Wakeman (Yes) has launched the Caped Crusader Collector Club (CCCC). Members will receive a membership pack containing an individually numbered membership card, a signed (by Rick) welcome letter, an exclusive yearbook full of rare photos, articles and memorabilia from Rick’s personal archive, a sticker and four 8×10 photos. Members will also receive the first exclusive CCCC CD release, which is the previously unreleased Wakeman soundtrack from the feature film, “She.”
The following three releases for the year will feature rare and live music from the Wakeman vaults. Additionally, there will be three exclusive CD releases issued within the year, which members will receive automatically through the mail periodically. These releases will not be available to the general public, either online or at any other retailer.
CCCC members will receive a 10% discount off all purchases (including boxed sets) at the Wakeman Music Emporium (online only), invites to special events, early notifications of the releases and a totally exclusive merchandising range, along with some other goodies.
“I am really excited about the Caped Crusader Collector Club as something very different. As a musician. I think it is important that serious fans get to hear music that would otherwise be left in drawers and on shelves and in some cases, discarded.
“With the formation of the CCCC, I feel that this is an innovative way for core fans to get to hear music which I have discovered in various of my archives. Much of which was found when packing ready to move house,
“I had completely forgotten about some of this material and it has really surprised me what was found. All part of my musical journey over almost 5 decades. I truly believe for real collectors these exclusive CDs will be received in the same way that The Treasure Chest was some years ago.
“I hope everyone has as much enjoyment hearing these recordings as I had after discovering them.” – Rick Wakeman
