No Earthly Connection is a studio album by English keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released in May 1976 on A&M Records. After touring worldwide in 1975, Wakeman retreated to Château d'Hérouville in Herouville, France in January 1976 to record a new album with his backing band, the English Rock Ensemble.
Contents
The original LP contained a small square sheet of reflective plastic that could be curved into a cylinder, which when placed on the front cover allowed the viewer to see the cover drawing undistorted and with a 3D-like effect. A barely noticeable thin colourful arc on the cover (see picture) appeared then as a rainbow keyboard about to be played by Wakeman's hands, in consonance with the album's theme of a creation myth based on music.
The album is currently available through Real Gone Music.
