I was not very old but Prog has been my life long obsession from being a teenager. Back then in the day sections will be headed as 'Progressive' cos that is simply what it was known as. You are ofc right about different styles of music being lumped into one, for instance such acts as FOREST & TREES were on Harvest, they were basically Folk bands. as were TUDOR LODGE etc on Vertigo.. Bands such as NUCLEUS, BEN, KEITH TIPPET GROUP on Vertigo, MIKE WESTBROOK, CENTIPEDE on RCA Neon were JAZZ but they were all under the same 'Progressive' banner..

The Original 1984 'Ocean Rain' studio album was a true classic of the era..
Listening on my old Trio KH-32 headphones which for 40 years old sound amazingly good. Another I picked up last week for £2.50 and NM. Ripping a few to FLAC.
