This double CD comprises all the material first released as a double vinyl
album in March 1977.
Features ELPs anthemic and stylish ‘Fanfare For The Common Man’, a massive
hit which reached No.2 in the U.K.; the brilliant, Keith Emerson compiled
‘Piano Concerto No.1’, performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra;
excellent romantic songs from Greg Lake at the peak of his creativity, and hard
rocking classical adaptations from Carl Palmer – featuring Joe Walsh on lead
guitar for one song. The great jazz composer Harry South is present, and Carl
contributes a powerful new version of ‘Tank’, first heard on the
group’s debut album.
