The album was recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland,[2] and was released by Moon Records. The album was re-released in 1991 by President Records as Rock 'n' Roll Prophet Plus, containing four bonus tracks. These tracks were recorded at Wakeman's own[3] Bajanor Studios on the Isle of Man, and were mixed by Stuart Sawney. The re-release was mastered at Abbey Road Studios.[4] As well as playing keyboards, Wakeman provided lead vocals for three tracks ("I'm So Straight I'm a Weirdo", "Maybe '80", and "Do You Believe in Fairies")[5] – the only album on which his singing appears.[6] Critical reception{{Album ratings|rev1 = Allmusic |rev1score = {{rating|2|5}}[7] |rev2 = Discogs |rev2score = {{rating|2|5}}[8] }} Rock 'n' Roll Prophet has gained largely negative reviews, with comments describing the album as "goofy",[5] "novelty" and "crap".[9] McGlinchey does, however, recognise that the album was largely produced as a tongue-in-cheek project and that "the humour on [the] release is intentional".[9]Due to his association with progressive rock (being the antithesis of punk rock), Wakeman wanted the album to be released under a pseudonym – his suggestion being "KUDOS". It was, however, released under his own name, which he called "a big mistake".[2] AllMusic described the album as sounding similar to The Buggles,[5] with Wakeman corroborating their influence by stating that the album was an attempted spoof.[2] Wakeman's vocals are also described as "serviceable but not strong" – with the instrumentals "not up to [his] highest standards".[5] Ground and Sky likened the album to "someone gleefully pressing the self-destruct button on whatever credibility they previously had managed to accrue as a music artist".[9] Wakeman, however, has commented that he likes the analogue sounds and production on the album,[2] and that the album was "little ahead of its time [and] a little off the wall".[4] Track listLP
