Love Beach (Port)

Love Beach is the seventh studio album by English progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1978. It was the band's final album of original material until Black Moon (1992) and was produced to satisfy contractual obligations with the group's record company. It was a critical and commercial disappointment, charting at #55 on the Billboard 200, although it did eventually go gold. The group was reportedly not satisfied with the album; drummer Carl Palmer even compared the cover photograph to the works of disco stars the Bee Gees. Original pressings of Love Beach carried no producer's credit, but production and mixing of the album were largely carried out by Keith Emerson following contentious recording sessions in the Bahamas. According to Emerson, "everybody but me wanted to get the hell out of Nassau... in the end I stuck the whole album together... and sent it off to Atlantic".Keith Emerson: keyboardsGreg Lake: vocals, guitar, bass, harmonicaCarl Palmer: drums, percussionPeter Seinfeld: lyricsJack Nuber, Karl Patterson - engineers.
