Genre: Progressive Rock | Style: Rock/Pop | Mood: High
Format: Compilation

Description: Shout! Factory's Essential Emerson, Lake & Palmer retrospective features 28 remastered tracks from the seminal progressive rock trio's '70s heydays. The collection, which was overseen by the band itself, features all of the usual suspects like "Lucky Man," "Still...You Turn Me On" and "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Part 2," as well as deeper cuts such as "Bitches Crystal" and "Medley: Jeremy Bender/The Sheriff," the latter of which is presented live. There is no shortage of ELP overviews on the market, and this is as good (if not a little better) than all of the rest.
