ELP
Fabulous collection from one of the seminal bands of the 70s. All the greats are included eg fanfare for the common man. I thought I had seen it all on drums with Keith Moon but boy does Karl Palmer know how to play. Wow!

A great collection of music by a true prog. rock supergroup
I have been a fan of E.L.P. for over 40 years so I already have most of the music included in this collection. However, I feel that the tracks on the 3 discs are a great representation of the supergroup's total discography and together with the 'biography' of the band, makes this purchase a really good introduction for those who want to know more about the trio and their music.I also found it to be a fitting tribute to the late Keith Emerson, whose classical and orchestral arrangements were brilliant and emotive.

E l p fans give it a try
This is a decent collector's item for any E L P fan to own. Dont think some of the live tracks are as good as the original studio versions but that's probably just a personal thing. It's a good price E L P fans give it a try!

Some great tracks and some not so great tracks
Took me back to my youth. Some great tracks and some not so great tracks, that's what you get with an Anthology. I found after a few listens even the weirder old tracks grew on me.

ELP at their best
Career spanning set of the work Of ELP, both indivually and as a group. Prog. Rock at its best, with classical influences. Top notch sound into the bargain.

A fabulous collection of ELP music.
A superb collection of ELP classics. I especially don't look at the playlists, so it's always a nice surprise when the next song comes up.Great packaging presentation too, with good pics and an interesting write up.Well worth the low asking price.
