Emerson Lake and Palmer Singles

Emerson, Lake and Palmer's first, self-titled album reached stores in 1970, heralding the arrival of one of the most significant bands of the progressive rock era.  Though ELP became known for its grand, classically-inspired album epics, the band also charted singles in the U.K., U.S., and throughout the world.  On August 26, BMG will recognize the 45 RPM legacy of Emerson, Lake and Palmer with the release of Singles, a collection of twelve seven-inch, two-sided singles culled from their U.K.

Keith Emerson Off the Shelf

Though Keith Emerson died in March 2016, the influential body of work left behind by the keyboardist, arranger and composer lives on.  A decade before his untimely passing, Emerson compiled a disc's worth of previously unreleased tracks.  He described 2006's Off the Shelf as "a veritable cornucopia of potpourri within an audio montage!"  Now, that collection has been reissued by Cherry Red's Esoteric Recordings imprint for those fans of the late artist who missed it the first time.

Keyboardist Keith Emerson, vocalist/bassist/guitarist Greg Lake and drummer/percussionist Carl Palmer were innovators in the progressive rock genre, fusing classical, jazz and heavy rock on a regular basis since their 1970 self-titled debut album. ELP was an answer both to the compact, three-minute pop songs that dominated the airwaves and to the blues-rock genre epitomized by the likes of Led Zeppelin, and the group pursued a
