Original Albums

Progressive rock was slated even whilst it was "happening " ,in the early 70's, Alan Freeman Saturday afternoons,unbelievable!I have a very broad range to my musical likes,and an extensive very large collection of all genres of different music. I am writing this listening to Joe Satriani, ' nuff said. These guys were undeniably superb musicians, I must admit to not liking their "later" albums ,but this shows just how very good they were. Rather nostalgic on my behalf(?) but a part of my musical upbringing, grammar school,where I was educated looked upon as 'educated boys'music still by my good friends. Does not matter, GREAT music, enjoy with an open mind. (My brother was lucky enough to see them live at the Brighton Dome in the early 70's from the wings of the stage. The concert was held up because the Tarkus big model they had on stage fired ping pong balls from it's cannons which clogged up the band's piano,there you go, but of history,and totally TRUE).

Highly enjoyable package featuring 5 challenging albums from the masters of pomp.

Great way to explore the ELP early years. Love this band

Los cinco primeros discos de Emerson, Lake & Palmer y los cinco mejores.No es un grupo que me gustase desde que los escuché por primera vez de forma natural, su música un tanto pomposa no era mi preferida, pero con el tiempo le he cogido el gusto y he terminado por comprar esta bonita caja (de hecho, compré el “Tarkus” en LP, aquí, en Amazon y lo valoré con tres estrellas, debo cambiarle la valoración para ser justo con lo que opino ahora).No todo va a ser King Crimson :)Saludos.

On aime ou pas, cela reste un des plus grand groupe de progressif. Tarkus. Extraordinaire.... Attention, si pas fan de prog: s'abstenir

Per chi come me non aveva nulla dei ELP cofanettonottimo che racchiude la prima parte della discografia e probabilmente anche la migliore. Consigliato

... aber wieder erinnert. Mann, ist das gute Musik. Ich hatte das schon fast vergessen und hab mir jetzt eher aus Zufall diese Box gegönnt. Ich hatte ganz vergessen wie gut Greg Lake eigentlich war. Mit dieser Art Musik haben ELP die Rock / Pop Öffentlichkeit beherrscht und auch mich damals. Ich wundere mich heute, dass damals Qualitätsmusik echt populär war und wir uns das als Masse angehört haben. Undenkbar für heutige Verhältnisse - arme Gegenwart. Es kann nur besser werden in der Zukunft, die hoffentlich bald mal beginnt.
