The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the fourth studio album by English keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released on 27 March 1975 by A&M Records. It was his third concept album. Here, Wakeman retold the story of Arthur, as well as Guinevere, Lancelot, and Merlin. Wakeman commenced writing music for it while recovering from a heart attack in 1974 and recorded it with his five-piece band, the English Rock Ensemble, the New World Orchestra, and the English Chamber Choir.
King Arthur received positive reviews, though some labelled it a symbol of progressive rock excess. It reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart and No. 21 on the US Billboard 200. It was certified gold in the US, Brazil, Japan, and Australia. The album was promoted with a world tour in 1975 that included three shows at Wembley Arena performed as an ice show, the last time it was performed in its entirety until 2016. The album was reissued in 2015 with a Quadrophonic mix, and re-recorded in 2016 with additional parts previously removed from the original score due to time constraints.
