Yep, Highway Star is one of the great rock solos.

Have a listen to Michael Karoli's guitar on Verfolgung by Irmin Schmidt from the Filmmusik LP, top stuff.

You'll need the original vinyl LP, it was never released on cd except as part of the Electro Violet box set but they strangely didn't include all the tracks from the original release, missing off, in my humble opinion, the two best tracks, Verfolgung being one of them. Maybe the fact that it hasn't had a cd release is why I can't find a vid of it on YouTube, I don't know.
Anyway, search it out, it's excellent. @delb0y is in luck as I can pop it on the gramophone the next time he's round my house.

Sounds like it's the sort of thing that might go for a princely sum on Discogs...

38 for sale from £4.31, a bargain although a decent copy will cost more.

Signed guitar by some of the players mentioned here.
£20k seems cheap.
The list of signatures is very impressive, but Richard Digance seems odd next to the others. Is he a good player?

Yep, knocked around the same folk clubs as Fairport.

There is a signature on the right that isn't identified. Anyone able to make it out?

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Great tracks, from a great album. I can remember buying The Crossing back in 83, played it to death.

Still got my Big Country vinyl LPs, but sadly, was conned into selling the 'picture discs' years ago
Ie; a Scotland shaped 'Fields Of Fire', 12" 'Chance', & semi-clear (translucent white?) 'Wonderland 12"

For some reason been a fan of this for many a year. I snaffled eight Rush albums on vinyl for 20 quid last year, bonza!

I bought The Crossing on Cassette. All my music was bought in that format in those days, ghetto blaster and walkman were all i used.

As is that opening to She Sells Sanctuary, with Billy Duffy playing that Gretsch White Falcon
(best played at '11')

Gretsch, it seems, have released a 'signature model'

[Leedsbusdriver]

Has this been mentioned?

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

I have linked the guitar solo. But to be honest the whole song is a masterpiece.

 

[Cycleops]

All of the nomintions are very good but most lack one thing, recognisability. This is one that can't be accused of that and beautifully played by these guys:
