Happy to see some love for Works Vol One. I mentioned it on the double album thread, think its been unfairly maligned over the years, in some respects it's their Topographic Oceans, perhaps over-reaching but still massively ambitious and honestly not that bad.

Yes, Love Beach is surely not the most beloved album, and anyway, nothing new about people having different preferences. Smile

Magnificent Excess: The Story of Emerson, Lake & Palmer:- Pictures of three exhibitionists at the height of their fame making an exhibition of themselves - so  to speak - in this entertaining and revealing documentary film from ELP's 40th Anniversary Concert DVD in 2010, where it's revealed that ELP stands for "Everybody Loves Potatoes", especially Greg Lake, whose nickname is "Spud", although that's probably because he resembled Mr. Potato Man in his later years, bless him. Smile 


After the documentary, it's Welcome Back My Friends to the blogs that never end. Come inside, come inside, and enjoy more Pictures at an Exhibition from ELP's aforementioned 40th Anniversary Concert, posted below. If you believe in The Power of Three, then you'll believe in the awesome Trilogy of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and if you include ELP's full Works, there were two short-lived offshoots of the dynamic Tarkus trio too: Emerson, Lake & Powell and Emerson, Berry & Palmer, otherwise known as "3". I've been In the Hot Seat recently for showing some love towards the much-maligned Love Beach album - an album which was about as welcome amongst ELP fans as an ominous Black Moon on the horizon. The cheesy Beach Gees album cover and album title admittedly looks and sounds like a third-rate reality TV show, and it probably is. I'm thinking "Love Island", which is close enough. Smile


Coming up... ELP's Complete Works, including:- Emerson Lake & Powell; "3" (Emerson, Berry & Palmer); and all of the collective solo works of Keith Emerson; Greg Lake; Carl Palmer; Cozy Powell; Robert Berry, and The Nice!
