   Iron Duke released two albums:

First Salvo (1974)
Gammel Dansk (1977)

I have the first one and I love it. To ELP fans.

The group is a representative of classical progressive rock and is often compared to Emerson Lake and Palmer - the most famous band of this genre. However, the music of Iron Duke on "First Salvo! is much 'softer'. It would sound better if were a bit heavier. The musicians adopted compositions of G. F. Händel ("See The Conqu'ring Hero Comes") and Edward Grieg. Undoubtedly, the best one is 15-minutes "Rockin' Edward" based on "Per Gynt Suite". Iron Duke recorded another album "Gammel Dansk" that is harder to find nowadays.
