ELEGY

This album is ac ollection of bottom-of-the-drawer takes , alternates takes so much that you can hear the screaching of the nails on the drawer and the slamming shut of them as the person doing the assembling was obviously frustrated of notfinding much worthy. ;-)

Yet another version of Pathetique and another umptienth version of America. The bonus tracks listed above are mostly taken from the debut album and believe me! Check out that one. Even completely out of their context , those tracks dwarf out whatever material present on the original vinyl. This gives you a hint?

All joking aside , there is not much of an interest even for die-hard Emerson fans, I believe this got released to fulfill the rest of a contract so emerson could start his supergroup. Sure sounds like it! Better avoid unless you have too much money!!! Nice artwork sleeve, though! Looks like Hypgnosis work.
