"Brain Salad Surgery" is a true masterpiece of progressive rock. The band's musicianship is at its peak, with Keith Emerson's virtuosic keyboard playing, Greg Lake's powerful vocals and bass lines, and Carl Palmer's dynamic drumming. The album features some of ELP's most iconic tracks, such as the epic "Karn Evil 9" and the haunting "Jerusalem".

Emerson's use of the Moog synthesizer is particularly impressive, with its futuristic and otherworldly tones adding an extra layer of complexity to the music. Lyrically, the album is thought-provoking and often political, with "Jerusalem" addressing issues of war and peace, and "Still...You Turn Me On" exploring themes of love and desire.

This Album, Which Reached The Top 20 In America And Got To Number Four In England, Showcased The Group At Its Least Pretentious And Most Musicianly -- With The Exception Of A Few Moments On "Three Fates" And Perhaps "Take A Pebble," There Isn't Much Excess, And There Is A Lot Of Impressive Musicianship Here. "Take A Pebble" Might Have Passed For A Moody Blues Track Of The Era But For The Fact That None Of The Moody Blues' Keyboard Men Could Solo Like Keith Emerson. Even Here, In A Relatively Balanced Collection Of Material, The Album Shows The Beginnings Of A Dark, Savage, Imposingly Gothic Edge That Had Scarcely Been Seen Before In So-Called "Art Rock," Mostly Courtesy Of Emerson's Larger-Than-Life Organ And Synthesizer Attacks. Greg Lake's Beautifully Sung, Deliberately Archaic "Lucky Man" Had A Brush With Success On FM Radio, And Carl Palmer Became The Idol Of Many Thousands Of Would-Be Drummers Based On This One Album (Especially For "Three Fates" And "Tank"), But Emerson Emerged As The Overpowering Talent Here For Much Of The Public.” Bruce Eder, All Music. more

First Copy We Have Had In Stock In Ten Years. “One Of The Seminal Documents Of The Progressive Rock Era, A Record That Made Its Way Into The Collections Of Millions Of High-School Kids Who Never Heard Of Modest Mussorgsky And Knew Nothing Of Russia's Nationalist "Five." It Does Some Violence To Mussorgsky, But Pictures At An Exhibition Is Also The Most Energetic And Well-Realized Live Release In Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Catalog, And It Makes A Fairly Compelling Case For Adapting Classical Pieces In This Way. At The Time, It Introduced "Classical Rock" To Millions Of Listeners, Including The Classical Community, Most Of Whose Members Regarded This Record As Something Akin To An Armed Assault.” Bruce Eder, AMG. more

	Pictures At An Exhibition Used - LP - ELP 66666 1971 Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. The album "Pictures At An Exhibition" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer was released in 1971, and it is a live recording of a performance by the band at the Newcastle City Hall in 1970. The album is a tribute to the classical composer Modest Mussorgsky and his composition of the same name, which was written in 1874. The idea for the album came from the band's keyboardist, Keith Emerson, who was a fan of Mussorgsky's work. He arranged the piece for the band, and they performed it live in concert. The performance was recorded and released as an album. The album was a critical and commercial success, peaking at number 10 on the UK charts and number 43 on the US charts. It is considered one of the band's best works and a classic of progressive rock. The album features powerful and intricate keyboard work from Emerson, virtuosic bass playing from Greg Lake, and complex drumming from Carl Palmer. Over the years, the album has been reissued multiple times with additional tracks and remastered sound. It has also been performed live by other artists, including the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the Dutch rock band Focus. more
	Pictures At An Exhibition New - LP - ELP 66666 Factory sealed 1971 original in gatefold jacket with hype sticker on back cover. Saw cut. Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Pictures At An Exhibition" is a stunning example of progressive rock at its finest. Based on the classical composition by Modest Mussorgsky, the album sees the trio infusing their own unique brand of virtuosic musicianship into the already majestic source material. Keith Emerson's keyboard work is nothing short of awe-inspiring, with his complex and varied solos weaving in and out of the overarching themes. Greg Lake's vocals are emotive and powerful, perfectly conveying the grandeur of Mussorgsky's original work. The album's standout track is undoubtedly "The Great Gates of Kiev," which builds to a thundering crescendo that showcases the full range of the band's musical prowess. Overall, "Pictures At An Exhibition" is a masterpiece of progressive rock, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. more

	Tarkus New - LP - SD 9900 Factory Sealed 1971 Gatefold Original First Pressing With The Custom Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. "Tarkus" is a progressive rock masterpiece that showcases the trio's virtuosic talent and bold experimentation. The title track, an epic suite that tells the story of a half-tank, half-armadillo creature, is a tour de force of keyboard wizardry, intricate drumming, and soaring vocals. "Jeremy Bender" and "Are You Ready, Eddy?" add a touch of humor to the album, while "Bitches Crystal" and "The Only Way (Hymn)" display the group's classical influences. "Tarkus" is a cohesive and ambitious work that seamlessly blends genres and showcases the band's musical prowess. The album's intricate arrangements and technical prowess set a new standard for progressive rock, and its enduring popularity is a testament to its lasting impact. "Tarkus" is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock or classic rock in general. more
	Tarkus Used - LP - SD 9900 1971 Original Monarch Press. Housed In A Gatefold Jacket. Jacket Shows Some Shelf /Ring Wear/Scuffing & Edge Rubs. Glossy looking Vinyl. "Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1970 Eponymous Lp Was Only A Rehearsal. It Hit Hard Because Of The Novelty Of The Act (Allegedly The First Supergroup In Rock History), But Felt More Like A Collection Of Individual Efforts And Ideas Than A Collective Work. All Doubts Were Dissipated By The Release Of Tarkus In 1971. Side One Of The Original Lp Is Occupied By The 21-minute Title Epic Track, Beating Both Genesis' "Supper's Ready" And Yes' "Close To The Edge" By A Year. Unlike The Latter Group's Cut-and-paste Technique To Obtain Long Suites, "Tarkus" Is A Thoroughly Written, Focused Piece Of Music. It Remains Among The Top Ten Classic Tracks In Progressive Rock History. Because Of The Strength Of Side One, The Material On The Album's Second Half Has Been Quickly Forgotten -- With One Good Reason: It Doesn't Match The Strength Of Its Counterpart -- But "Bitches Crystal" And "A Time And A Place" Make Two Good Prog Rock Tracks, The Latter Being Particularly Rocking. "Jeremy Bender" Is The First In A Series Of Honky Tonk-spiced, Far-west-related Songs. This One And The Rock & Roll Closer "Are You Ready Eddy?" Are The Only Two Tracks Worth Throwing Away. Otherwise Tarkus Makes A Very Solid Album, Especially To The Ears Of Prog Rock Fans -- No Greg Lake Acoustic Ballads, No Lengthy Jazz Interludes. More Accomplished Than The Trio's First Album, But Not Quite As Polished As Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus Is Nevertheless A Must-Have." AMG Review By Francois Couture. more

Actually, The Group Was Gaining In Maturity What They Lost In Raw Energy. Every Track On This Album Has Been Carefully Thought, Arranged, And Performed To Perfection, A Process That Also Included Some Form Of Sterilization.

Prog Rock Fans Had To Satisfy Themselves With The Three-part "The Endless Enigma" And "Trilogy," Both Very Strong But Paced Compositions. By 1972, Eddie Offord's Recording And Producing Techniques Had Reached A Peak. He Provided A Lush, Comfy Finish To The Album That Made It Particularly Suited For Living-room Listening And The Fm Airwaves. Yet The Material Lacks A Bit Of Excitement.

	Works Volume 2 Used Import - P-10438A Beautiful 1977 Japanese Original, With Obi & Insert, Housed In Glossy Jacket With Embossed Band Logo. "After The Rather Dull Works, Vol. 1, The Highly Underrated Works, Vol. 2 Is A Godsend. Works, Vol. 1 Took Their Pompous, Bombastic, Keyboard-Driven Prog Rock Epics To The Limit; Had It Been Stripped Of Its Excesses And Coupled With The Strongest Cuts From Works, Vol. 2, The Band May Have Had An Enormous Success With Critics And Fans Alike. Volume 2's Brief, Eclectic Compositions Cover An Array Of Musical Styles, Combining Stimulating Originals And Handsomely Orchestrated Renditions Of "Maple Leaf Rag," "Honky Tonk Train Blues," And "Show Me The Way To Go Home." Lake Peppers The Tunes With Guitar And Bass Flourishes, Resulting In Some Of His Most Challenging Instrumental Work, And Both He And Palmer Deliver Incredibly Strong Performances. Meanwhile, Peter Sinfield Contributes Some Of His Most Mature And Accomplished Lyrics. Emerson's Work Is Solid And Creative, But Sounds A Bit Dated, Which Is Part Of Why The Band Couldn't Endure. Unlike Some ELP Albums, Volume 2's Brief Pieces Sustain Interest; There Really Isn't A Weak Tune In The Set. The Five Instrumentals Are Highlighted By Two Short Prog Rock Tunes, Including The Jazzy "Bullfrog," Which Features Lake's Brief Jazz Bass Solo And Palmer's Fluid, Versatile Drumming. "Barrelhouse Shake-down" And "Maple Leaf Rag" Showcase Emerson's Superb Ragtime And Barrelhouse Piano Playing, And Palmer's Jazz Fusion/Marching Band Piece, "Close But Not Touching," Features Horns And Lake's Psychedelic Electric Guitar Lines. The Vocal Pieces Are Equally Interesting. "Brain Salad Surgery" Is Progressive Jazz-Rock That Bears Some Resemblance To King Crimson's "Cat Food," Unsurprising Since Each Features Lake Singing Sinfield's Lyrics. And, Of Course, There Is The Hit "I Believe In Father Christmas," A Beautiful Lake/Sinfield Composition That Highlights Lake's Strong Voice And Vibrant Acoustic Guitar."
