Legendary progressive rock giants Emerson, Lake & Palmer were formed in 1970 by the brilliant keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson, gifted singer / composer / guitarist Greg Lake and dynamic drummer / percussionist Carl Palmer. Torchbearers of the progressive rock sound, ELP jointly created the super-group concept and are among the most important bands in the history of rock music. They helped to broaden the audience for the genre from hundreds of thousands into tens of millions. ELP were one the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1970s, their first 7 album releases making the U.K. Top 10 and U.S. Top 20 album charts. Despite the tragic deaths of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake in 2016, the amazing and inspirational music of ELP very much lives on. Rigid matt-black outer box with foil-blocked cover text.

Showcasing the immense musical talents of Keith Emerson, Greg Lake & Carl Palmer, and containing a wealth of ELP audio and visual treasure, from 1970 to 1997.
