Progressive rock's first supergroup, Emerson Lake & Palmer fused together rock and classical music like no-one before. This 3CD set collects highlights from their entire career. ELP were no strangers to extended instrumental suites and longer running times. “Take A Pebble” from their debut album ran for twelve and a half minutes, whilst the follow-up, “Tarkus,” featured a twenty-minute title track. Piano and keyboard workouts by Keith Emerson, often adapted from the classical realm, dazzle on these longer pieces. This 3-disc collection includes the following songs: Tiger In A Spotlight Jerusalem C'est La Vie Peter Gunn Hoedown Trilogy Knife-Edge Fanfare For The Common Man Honky Tonk Train Blues Lucky Man … and many more!

Awesome EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER Collection
Really great to listen to this fantastic set of CDs remembering the music I so enjoyed to long ago. Even better than the cassette tapes that I had because these are crystal clear digital recordings.

An ELP fan from the start of ELP
"Ultimate" is a bit overstated, because it would take a few more cds to cover them. But the recording is damn good. And true, Keith's later years left something to be desired, but somehow it makes listening to that music more worthy, considering what he was going through personally with it.

If you're an old ELP fan this is a nice collection
I just reviewed another band collection and I'll say the same thing for this set, easier than getting out my vinyl discs and less worrisome because they can be replaced much easier, also can be put in my 4 disc changer either to mix in or have a few hours of ELP.

Some of my favorite songs are here!
But not all. No collection is going to get those that everyone loves, because many may want some that are not as popular with others. Like me!

Good choices
All the hits without the fillers. Pretty much what I wanted.
