3CD box set presented with enhanced booklet.
Musical visionaries Keith Emerson and Greg Lake planned to re-form ELP in 1984, however drummer Carl Palmer was unavailable. Into the frame stepped the legendary Cozy Powell, best known for his work with Rainbow and Whitesnake. Included is the band’s one and only studio release: Emerson Lake and Powell featuring three bonus tracks, their live album ‘Live in Concert’ and a CD of rehearsals, ‘The Sprocket Sessions’, only previously released in the 90s as a bootleg.
The collection includes sleeve notes by Jerry Ewing, editor of Prog Magazine, who takes a forensic look at the band’s short but impactful history. The band’s self-titled studio album delivers material familiar in style to ELP with long progressive rock tracks, mellow ballads, and a classical theme (‘Mars, the Bringer of War’ by Gustav Holst, a piece previously performed by Lake during his tenure in King Crimson).
All recordings have been re-mastered by renowned engineer Andy Pearce.
This collection has been curated with the blessing of the Emerson, Lake and Powell families.
