Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Emerson Lake & Palmer / Great Prog-Rock Release In Collectors Condition - LP - 1st Pressing - 1973

★ Emerson Lake & Palmer – Emerson Lake & Palmer

On the first album by the newly formed supergroup, the influences brought by Emerson, Lake & Palmer are evident in the mix of instrumental and vocal tracks. In the absence of a guitarist, contrary to usual rock music convention, Keith Emerson's keyboard playing is mostly in the foreground compared to the rhythm section of Greg Lake on electric bass and Carl Palmer on drums. In the tradition of the previous band The Nice, Hammond organ riffs and classic adaptations meet synthesizer and piano solos that are rooted in the extended harmonics of jazz.

The album is not a unified compositional effort by the entire band; the majority of the album consists of adaptations of classical music pieces and solo pieces by the individual band members, which are often supplemented by instrumental parts. Lucky Man and Take a Pebble, the latter with extended jazz improvisation in the middle, are based on acoustic ballads by Greg Lake that predate those he would contribute on later albums. In Carl Palmer's solo piece Tank, he brings his virtuoso skills on the drums to the attention of the band.
