4 stars Another compilation of the awesome prog legends ELP. Their legacy remains and now we are left with new compilations to pour through or live releases. This latest comp is a great one with a ton of prog etched onto 3 CDs and a lavish package. There is not much left out on this comp, starting with Knife-Edge, Lucky Man, The Barbarian, Take a Pebble, and Tarkus. Other treasures include Trilogy, Karn Evil 9, Jerusalem, Fanfare for the Common Man, and Pirates. It loses interest then as much as their studio output but I still like to hear Tiger in a Spotlight, Peter Gunn (live) and Black Moon.

The compilation is very comprehensive with the complete Tarkus and Karn Evil 9 and covers tracks from every release. If you do not own the great early albums, this is the next best thing. I wonder how many more concerts will be released or compilations of these prog legends .
