Andy's Deleted Prog/Hard Rock Albums


This is a list of prog, or proggish albums I own that I believe to be deleted in any form. I have transferred a handful of the LPs to CDR, and will do most others on request. The minute I discover an entry to have been released officially (dodgy far eastern releases don't count) it will be removed from the list. CDs go out of print, too, but often creep back in without any fanfare, so I'm rather more reticent to list any official CD release. Otherwise, the same rules apply as on my Trades page. Of course, in an ideal world, all these albums would be available on CD in perpetuity, and this page would be redundant. Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world.
