Emerson Lake & Powell (SHM-CD)

Replica vinyl in tip-on sleeve of this supergroup's album from 1986. Remastered by renowned engineer Tony Dixon. Curated with the blessing of the Emerson, Lake and Powell families. Musical visionaries Keith Emerson and Greg Lake planned to reform ELP in 1984; however drummer Carl Palmer was unavailable. Into the frame stepped the legendary Cozy Powell. The band's self-titled studio album delivers material familiar in style to ELP with long progressive rock tracks, mellow ballads, and a classical theme ('Mars, The Bringer Of War' by Gustav Holst, a piece previously performed by Lake during his tenure in King Crimson).
