EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER

The A-side is taken from "Love Beach", arguably the worst effort by the trio ever. Still so, one can find such high quality pop-rock songs there as it's not frequently heard. If well crafted, arranged, played and sung is well enough for you, then you are in for a treat, if not... then pass and look for more progressive sustenance.

The B-side is a more heterogeneous, but also more prog-oriented batch. Piled here, in a way that doesn't allow to grasp any principle for a reasonable sequence, we stumble upon two tracks from "Works vol. 1" (namely, Fanfare For The Common Man & L..A. Nights), one from "Works vol. 2" (Maple Leaf Rag), and the fantastic opener for their first studio album, The Barbarian, last but best part of this assortment.

Good, but for collectors only. Everybody else, go for the proper albums
