Many Faces Of Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Didn't know what to expect of this....but pleasantly surprised after my 1st listen. A collection of music that portrays the origins of ELP's music. You could probably find all these tracks elsewhere.....but great to have them in one place...and excellent value too!

For true ELP fans to enjoy and understand the history and some background in the band, where songs came from and how they affected the music industry.It isn't an ELP disc set, it's a history of where they came from and how. I wish there had been more old Lake tracks but you can't have everything

Strsnge sort of mixture of stuff on this,Atmic Rooster featuring Carl palmer when he had left them before the tracks were recorded and had changed tack from the group he was in, some quite obscure but interesting stuuf on the rest of it but do always wonder quite what the purpose of this sort of compilation is, yes keith Emerson's various early career stuff is relevant to whatNice didm but do wonder what the purpose of disc 3 is, we al know that the Nice and then ELP were masters of the re-working of other people's material do we really need a disc of that materialon here? Also strange that although there is plenty of Pete Sinfiled Stuff there the omission of King Crimson from the Greg Lake period is a bit of a glaring omission. Even witht he caveats mentioned as\i say an interesting enough compilation and at the price not a bad purchase.

excellent album and lot to listen to

Fantastic collection of ELP's music before they got together.A lot of the tracks on it I never had before.My cd collection is better with this in it.

Thanks !!!

Unusual mix I was expecting more ELP tracks but happy enough

Wanted more King Crimson on here, the Peter Sinfield stuff is good, and the Nice of course but overall , very good.
