"Welcome back my friends…" !!!

I just listened to ELP for the first time today(Blu Ray; Montreux) and i am very impressed! The Blu Ray isn't even great but shows how good the songs are. What should i pick up first? Bear in mind i have heard no studio material whatsoever.

I'd recommend their first record, sounds fresher and without all the excesses of the later recordings. Having said that, Brain Salad Surgery and Trilogy are pretty good

Trilogy is very accessible. Brain Salad Surgery is their best. Pictures AAE is quite fun. The first album is full of surprises. Tarkus is enjoyable, but might become less so with time.

I have a soft spot for Works Vol. I, but it may not be for everybody.

The rest is for completists and the curious.

I'll check them out. Is the reunion Blu ray worth a look? What about other Live DVDs? cheers.

The Blu Ray isn't even great

....To say the least !

If you began with this 97 live and enjoyed it, I'd say that you could pick up about anything they ever released, whether it's live, studio or compilation, and you'll be surprised. AFAIK, this Montreux show is the lowest point of their career live-wise, and one of the worst products they ever released. My opinion, of course.

I'd go with the double feature : Pictures at an Exhibition and the first eponymous album (remastered of course). If you're not afraid of more commercial stuff, the Black Moon album is filled with great songs too.

Quite simply, no, it's not.
Sound mix is crap, and the performance is mediocre at best.
If you want any other live DVDs, go for the 1970s performances.

I highly recommend getting the 3-disc sets for the first album and "Tarkus" so you can hear Steven Wilson's stereo and 5.1 mixes for those first two albums.
"Trilogy" is great as well, but it's likely we will get a 5.1 surround deluxe set of that album sometime soon, so I would hold off on that one until the remix comes out.
"Pictures at an Exhibition" and "Welcome Back My Friends" are great live albums, but I would approach with caution concerning any other albums in their catalogue.

Link?

It is a shame about that Blu Ray. Glad i didn't buy it now, thanks.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you so much for pre-ordering the Emerson, Lake and Palmer Brain Salad Surgery Deluxe Edition.

We have been working with the UK company to make sure we have the best possible package for you all. Due to this fact we have run into a few delays with the release date, but it looks like the CD will now be ready mid-July. Thank you all for your patience. We are sure you will really enjoy the final release.

If you have any questions, or need to update your address/information on the order, please email us at [email protected] with your order number & information regarding the changes you need made.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

What about the 93 Albert Hall DVD?

I recommend this DVD box set. Has some great footage from 1970s.

Beyond the Beginning is better than the bulk of ELP video I have ever seen.

You guys like this better than Pictures at an Exhibition? I only have the LD, so none of the bonuses from the dvd (which look great- Nutrocker!), but I've always enjoyed this show, even w/ the crazy 70's psychedelic effects.

Silly question...

Same question for GG TPATG and JT APP...

Best regards!

What is known now is that BSS will be dvda, Power and the Glory bd/cd and dvdv/cd, APP 2cd/2dvdv and Drums&Wires bd/cd and dvda/cd.

None of the ELP re-issues from Sony have been issued on BluRay. Sony are losing $$$$millions on BluRay technology with an apparent over investment into BluRay technology with not the expected return.

Thank you quadBros!

I'm now especially glad I pre-ordered the box set as the 3-disc edition is delayed until June and doesn't contain the new stereo mix on CD (a major selling point of the box for me, as I never thought the original stereo mix was that great…)

Usually it's the exact opposite though, in that the smaller edition comes out first and there are delays on the box set.

I nearly didn't pre-order the big box.. but I'm glad I did now if it's going to land earlier and have the new stereo mix (much needed I agree!) thanks for the info RT, you're a star!

Glad I was an early bird again (twice in a day its worked in my favour), and it'll arrive on the 12th May, but I really want "Trilogy"......
