Product Description

A comprehensive, career-spanning collection from one of progressive rock's most popular groups.

On 2 CDs crammed with nearly 160 minutes of music!

The fully remastered 28-song set, compiled with ELP's participation, brings together their biggest hits, including "Lucky Man," "From The Beginning," "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression - Part 2" and "I Believe In Father Christmas," as well as other must-have recordings drawn from all of the albums they released in their '70s heyday--their self-titled debut (1970), Tarkus (1971), Trilogy (1972), Pictures At An Exhibition (1972), Brain Salad Surgery (1973), Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends (1974), Works, Vol. 1 & Works, Vol. 2 (both 1977), Love Beach (1978) and Emerson Lake & Palmer In Concert (aka Works Live) (1979)--and the reunion album Black Moon (1992).

Comes with a fully-illustrated booklet containing color photos, detailed liner notes and complete track info.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beware!, April 14, 2007
Something is horribly wrong with the mixing of the Brain Salad Surgery tracks on disc two. They sound atrocious. I don't understand how this was missed by Shout Factory. If these songs were the right mixes, I would have given a higher rating, but this foul up is unforgivable. You may be better off to search for the older Rhino releases. I don't know if this will be remedied when Shout Factory re-releases Brain Salad Surgery later this year. I for one will wait to read reviews on whether the proper mixes are on there or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is it just me or....?, April 2, 2007
Dittos on what everyone says about the collection- I am a BIG fan, but... The mastering on Karn Evil 9 is diasterous! The kick drum is brought up way too far in the mix and has a distracting tubby sound that is noticeable even in the Amazon demo stream. This is not the band's fault, but my favorite song has been rendered very irritating now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Be Careful!, January 31, 2007
By Vincent G. Marino (Staten Island, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
They used the wrong version of "Jerusalem." It's the same bizarro remix with extra percussion and a different lead vocal from Greg that Sanctuary used on their reissue of "Brain Salad Surgery." Same with "Toccata," "Still You Turn Me On, and "Karn Evil 9 First Impression." Hopefully, once Shout! Factory reissues the full ELP catalog, they'll use the correct masters.
