Exclusive Mark Wilkinson Cover For New Prog Issue
The latest issue of Classic Rock Presents Prog goes on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, January 27) featuring an exclusive front cover designed by artist Mark Wilkinson.
Williamson’s work has adorned album sleeves by Marillion, Fish, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Europe, to name but a few.
…And Marillion themselves feature on the front cover of the wallet of the new issue too.
There’s an overall arty feel to the latest issue, with Marillion, Muse, Jethro Tull and Curved Air among the bands discussing the ways in which ‘prog art’ has changed over the years.
Of course, such an issue couldn’t be discussed without input from Roger Dean and Storm Thorgerson.
And we unveil the winner of our art competition, the winner of which finds their work adorning the cover of this issue’s free CD.
We also unveil the winners of the 2009 Readers’ Poll, there’s the Critics’ Choice Albums Of the Year – and there are exclusive interviews with Todd Rundgren, Transatlantic, The Pineapple Thief, Big Big Train, Magenta, Karnivool, Ex Libras and Yak, as well as the final ever interview with the late Eric Woolfson of the Alan Parsons Project.
Issue six of Classic Rock Presents Prog is on sale from Wednesday, January 25.
You can join Editor Jerry Ewing and writer Philip Wilding on TotalRock (www.totalrock.com) tomorrow between 12 noon and 3pm GMT, discussing the magazine and playing three hours of quality progressive rock.
Marillion feature on the front cover of the wallet of the new issue of Prog.
Inside the wallet: feast your eyes on Mark Wilkinson’s exclusive cover.
Guess this is a good time to pass along this link for a humorous look at prog rock:

Excellent issue, but still no outer cardboard cover for subscribers.
Great to see Steve Hogarth from Marillion on the cover. The man is a star and about time he got some recognition.
It’s a real shame “no outer cardboard cover for subscribers”…
I hope that this issue will be available sooner in Canada,than its predecessors, cause it looks very interesting!!! Hope we won’t have to wait another month!!!
Why is there no outer cardboard cover for subscribers?
Ugh, please continue to skip the cardboard outer for subscribers; it wouldn’t fit in my letter box, which means the postman either folding it or dumping it on the step, and it’s one less item in the recycling bin.
I gave up on the subscription because of the lack of the cardboard sleeve. Something not mentioned in any of the adverts. Its part of the magazine so should be included.
[...] The Field Where She Died, Spleen Arcana’s debut album, is reviewed in the February issue of Classic Prog which is really great news (and truly means a lot to me)! This issue features Marillion with an exclusive cover by Mark Wilkinson! [...]
Thank you for sending this issue faster across the ocean, to Canada, 3 weeks is a new record! I’m glad it’s here, because it’s one of the best so far. For those who think that 8£ is expensive, we have to spend 29$ can. (transportation across the atlantic included) but it’s worth it!
