The Complete Collection Coffret

Description

The musical visionaries Keith Emerson and Greg Lake planned to reform ELP in 1984, but drummer Carl Palmer was not available. Entering the picture was the legendary Cozy Powell, best known for his work with Rainbow and Whitesnake.
Included is the one and only studio release from the group: “Emerson Lake and Powell” with three bonus tracks, their live album “Live in Concert” and a rehearsal CD, “The Sprocket Sessions,” released only in the 90s as a bootleg.
The collection includes liner notes by Jerry Ewing, editor of PROG Magazine, which takes a forensic look at the short but impactful history of the group.
The group's self-titled studio album features familiar material in the style of ELP with long progressive rock pieces, gentle 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 remastered by renowned engineer Andy Pearce.
This collection has been organized with the blessing of the Emerson, Lake, and Powell families.
If you are a fan of ELP, you cannot afford to miss this part of Emerson and Lake's history in your collection.
