    This is the one that really comes to mind for me. Jack Lancaster's prog production of Peter and the wolf. Used to play this a lot.

    Judging by the list below, he had a rather well connected phone book.

    I vaguely remember this one. Got most of my fav musicians on it too! I'll have to re visit it.

    Sadly all ones I can think of have already been mentioned.

    But didn't Jeff Wayne follow up War Of The Worlds with Sparticus? I have no idea whether it's any good or not mind :)

    Also Alan Parsons (Alan Parsons Project) did a few concept albums too, I think.

    Marillion - Brave, the story of a young lady found about to throw herself from a bridge , not knowing who she was and why she was there, and told as her back story. Fantastic, moody album.

    Plus one from me for this one. I think this was the first Marillion CD I bought, been a fan ever since.

    And what a fine collection it is too. You don't see many GGs, you forget what really, really nice basses they are; the others are lovely too.

    Thanks chaps, the GG is a thing of great beauty.

    Here is my collection, with the last being added only on Saturday, which is the Suhr J.

    We have from left to right a fabulous PRS GG 4, the Suhr, Bongo HH 4 Stealth and my beautiful Pedulla Buzz
    I have never had such a beautiful looking or playing collection of basses and I am now officially bass GAS free. My rig however might be up for a change......

    I loved learning the bass part for this one. I also used a volume to pedal to mimic the cello part at the start of the song. Sadly our singer couldn't manage the vocals so it never sounded right and we had to reluctantly drop it. One day I'd love do it agin. We used to do Times Like These and DOA, which were great fun to play.
