I'm not surprised, and it's good to hear Carl Palmer could see the funny side of the "Beach Gees" album cover.

^ That's an interesting thought: ELP as the "Beach Gees" - a Bee Gees tribute band.

Yes, I thought ELP's Love Beach was a Bee Gees album when I first saw the album cover.

I like the album enough to spin it a couple times a year (had it for more than 30 years...) |

^ No, not really, I was just jesting with you, but I DID buy the first ELP album and later gave it away.

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of ELP. I bought the Love Beach album because I liked the cover, but I gave the album away because the music didn't live up to the promise of the album cover.  |

^ Don’t ‘doubt’ until you’ve heard it Paul. It’s very good indeed.

I haven't heard ELP's "Black Moon" album, but I doubt if I'd like as much as the Yes "Talk" album, which I instantly fell in love with the first time I heard the album yesterday.

I like the music , I like the minimalistic artwork. 4 stars.
Point of trivia - this saw ELP and Yes returning to the same record label (Victory Music) after both had been 'stable mates' on Atlantic through the seventies. ELP also released the very respectable Black Moon around the same time. You could make an argument for pairing these 2 albums up and both certainly helped galvanise the 90's prog revival.

Oh well, C'est la Vie, as we say in England. I suppose a sea of boredom is better than a whole Topographic Ocean of boredom though.

I always think of Big Generator as being the heaviest Yes album, but maybe that's just down to the album title.

Been trying to get a vinyl copy of this for years. The heaviest Yes album IMO.

I heard the Talk album for the very first time today and I was very impressed with it too. It's almost at the top of The Ladder when it comes to Yes albums, so it's a big thumbs-up from me.

I really like the first movement (AKA the first two minutes) of the Endless Dream suite, the rest of the album is a sea of boredom
