I bought a copy of Ekseption 3 from a cut out bin at a local record store; I was so impressed with Rick's brilliant keyboard work. I sell at record shows and Ekseption and Trace LPs sell very well still. Rick Van Der Linden's music will live on!

I own all three Trace albums and recently fixed my turntable and started listening to them again. I was given a promo copy of their first album in 1975 and I was hooked from then on. I find it very interesting that I would choose to start listening to these albums again only then to learn that Rick had died. Tommy Truly a great loss.

On a track 'She's a woman' piano parts were played by him and Jon Lord. First piano solo - van der Linden, second solo - Lord. Yes, Rick also played on Eddie Hardin’s Wizard’s Convention.
