Works (Volume 1) - Emerson Lake & Palmer* - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

With 'Works (Volume 1)', Emerson Lake & Palmer rewrote the script for progressive rock in 1977. Rather than a unified band effort, each member is given a side of the double LP to explore their own musical fascinations. Keith Emerson’s orchestral sweep, Greg Lake’s reflective songwriting, and Carl Palmer’s rhythmic fireworks together create a sprawling canvas that stretches from bombastic classical reinterpretations to intimate acoustic musings. The album’s centerpiece—Emerson’s full-scale piano concerto—remains one of the boldest moments in rock’s history, a daring fusion of Western Classical tradition with the energy of a rock band. Lake’s tender ballad “C’est la Vie” brings a heartfelt touch, while Palmer’s percussive experiments show the band’s willingness to challenge the boundaries of genre. The fourth side reunites the trio for monumental tracks like “Fanfare for the Common Man,” turning Aaron Copland’s American classic into an enduring anthem of progressive rock. For collectors and listeners seeking music that dares to be grand and uncompromising, 'Works (Volume 1)' is a testament to ELP’s visionary spirit—a record that invites you to experience rock’s most ambitious possibilities.
