5 stars My problem with Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (excluding Brain Salad Surgery, thanks to overdubbed keyboards) is that thee band seems to create the most grandiosly masterful sounding songs, but only having a drummer, keyboardist, and bassist (who doesn't play loud enough), they didn't have the instrumentation to support it.

Then finally they solved this everpresebt problem on Works, Vol. 1, with a marvelous 70 piece orchestra. Which adds unmatched atmosphere and seems perfecty with the equally masterful keyboarding by Kieth Emerson. However, not only did ELP supplement grandiose parts with greater instrumentation, they also fit even grander moments into the music. I am not going to waste my time describing the songs, for they all fit into the same description of 'magnificent'.

Basically, you would be a fool NOT to buy this album.
