Synopsis

Album Description
A comprehensive, career-spanning collection from one of progressive rock's most popular groups.

On 2 CDs crammed with nearly 160 minutes of music!

The fully remastered 28-song set, compiled with ELP's participation, brings together their biggest hits, including "Lucky Man," "From The Beginning," "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression - Part 2" and "I Believe In Father Christmas," as well as other must-have recordings drawn from all of the albums they released in their '70s heyday--their self-titled debut (1970), Tarkus (1971), Trilogy (1972), Pictures At An Exhibition (1972), Brain Salad Surgery (1973), Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends (1974), Works, Vol. 1 & Works, Vol. 2 (both 1977), Love Beach (1978) and Emerson Lake & Palmer In Concert (aka Works Live) (1979)--and the reunion album Black Moon (1992).

Comes with a fully-illustrated booklet containing color photos, detailed liner notes and complete track info.

CD Reviews

Beware!
Brian Reynolds | USA | 04/14/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Something is horribly wrong with the mixing of the Brain Salad Surgery tracks on disc two. They sound atrocious. I don't understand how this was missed by Shout Factory. If these songs were the right mixes, I would have given a higher rating, but this foul up is unforgivable. You may be better off to search for the older Rhino releases. I don't know if this will be remedied when Shout Factory re-releases Brain Salad Surgery later this year. I for one will wait to read reviews on whether the proper mixes are on there or not."
Be Careful!
Vincent G. Marino | Staten Island, New York USA | 01/31/2007

"They used the wrong version of "Jerusalem." It's the same bizarro remix with extra percussion and a different lead vocal from Greg that Sanctuary used on their reissue of "Brain Salad Surgery." Same with "Toccata," "Still You Turn Me On, and "Karn Evil 9 First Impression." Hopefully, once Shout! Factory reissues the full ELP catalog, they'll use the correct masters."
Is it just me or....?
Brian Wilson | Earth | 04/02/2007

"Dittos on what everyone says about the collection- I am a BIG fan, but... The mastering on Karn Evil 9 is diasterous! The kick drum is brought up way too far in the mix and has a distracting tubby sound that is noticeable even in the Amazon demo stream. This is not the band's fault, but my favorite song has been rendered very irritating now!"
