Emerson, Lake And Palmer (ELP) 4LP Anthology Boxset Announced

May sees the release of an epic box set celebrating the weighty adventurous works of perhaps Prog’s greatest exponents…

Emerson, Lake And Palmer (ELP) announce ‘EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER – THE ANTHOLOGY (1970-1998)’ Deluxe 4LP Vinyl Boxset for release on Friday 31st May 2019 on BMG. 

Legendary progressive rock giants Emerson, Lake & Palmer were formed in 1970 by the brilliant keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson, gifted singer / composer / guitarist Greg Lake and dynamic drummer / percussionist Carl Palmer. Torchbearers of the progressive rock sound, ELP jointly created the supergroup concept and are among the most important bands in the history of rock music, helping to broaden the genre audience into tens of millions. One of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1970s, ELP’s first 7 albums reached U.K. Top 10 and U.S. Top 20 and have shifted over 40 million copies to date. Despite the tragic deaths of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake in 2016, their inspirational music lives on.

With a carefully chosen selection of ELP’s finest moments alongside fan favourites, this new 4LP Anthology showcases the immense musical talents of all three members and contains a wealth of career-spanning ELP audio and visual treasure.
