Product Information

Formed in 1970, Emerson, Lake & Palmer were torchbearers of the progressive rock sound and one of rock’s first super-groups.

ELP helped to broaden the audience for the genre from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions and were one the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1970s, achieving global sales of over 40 million albums. Their first 7 album releases all made the U. K. albums chart top 10 and U. S. top 20.

Playing only their second ever concert - the Isle of Wight Festival, August 1970 - ELP astonished a crowd of more than half a million with their groundbreaking sound and instrumental prowess. Renowned for their extrovert and flamboyant on-stage performances, they went on to headline stadium tours around the world.

This career-spanning 3CD collection (1970-1998), showcases the immense musical talents of Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer and features tracks from all of their original albums: Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Pictures At An Exhibition, Tarkus, Trilogy, Brain Salad Surgery, Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, Works Volume 1, Works Volume 2, Works Live, Love Beach, Live At Nassau Coliseum ‘78, Black Moon, In The Hot Seat, Live At The Royal Albert Hall, Then & Now.

Includes their global hit singles »Fanfare For The Common Man« and »Lucky Man«.

The Anthology was produced in association with all three band members and the booklet contains extensive liner notes with new band interviews by legendary rock journalist Chris Welch. The audio was mastered by world-renowned rock studio engineer Andy Pearce.

Rezensionen

»Tony Pearce hat mustergültig remastert, das Booklet informiert neben Liner-Notes von Chris Welch auch mit aktuellen Interviews.​ Dazu gibt es 39 Songs mit einer Gesamtspielzeit von gut 220 Minuten, die alle Schaffensperioden zwischen 1970 und 1998 abdecken, inklusive acht Livetracks.​« (Good Times, Oktober/November 2016)
