1 CENT CD: Emerson Lake Palmer 'Works 2' REMASTER SEALD
Condition of CD: STILL SEALED! REMASTERED REISSUE!
One review reads 'This is an incredibly uneven album. It has some great tracks on it (Tiger in a Spotlight, a stripped down version of I Believe in Father Christmas without the orchestration, the instrumental When the Apple Bloom in the Windmills of your Mind, I'll Be Your Valentine), some good (Honky Tonk Train Blues, Brain Salad Surgery, Close but Not Touching), and some awful (So Far to Fall, Bullfrog, a useless cover of Show Me the Way to Go Home). This wasn't really a sequel to the original Works album, but a hodgepodge of outtakes from various sessions dating back to 1973. There is no real coherence to the album as a whole, like they just threw the tracks together anonymously. Why in God's name would you put the song Brain Salad Surgery on this album and not the one it's named after? And they should have destroyed So Far to Fall, with some of the worse lyrics I have ever heard. At least Love Beach had more of a flow to it. On their later box set, The Return of the Manticore, there are hardly any unreleased tracks, as they all showed up here, or got dumped here, depending on your point of view. It's kind of like The Who's Odds and Sods, except that album was more cohesive. So, if you really dig ELP, pick this up. You don't, leave it. '.

Album notes
Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Keith Emerson (keyboards); Greg Lake (vocals, guitar, bass); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). Producers: Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer, Peter Sinfield. Audio Remasterer: Andy Pearce. The larger-than-life music created by ELP was dependent upon the equally sizable musical/personal egos of its members. By 1977, the inevitable acrimony between the three had caused an aesthetic and spiritual decline. On the two separately issued volumes of WORKS, we can see a band on the verge of coming apart. Though the songs and arrangements are uniformly strong, there's precious little interaction. Many songs seem to feature only one member of the band at a time, the other two presumably having little use for their mate's ideas. Ironically, this allowed the members' individual styles to be seen that much more clearly. Emerson's pianistic roots are made plain on impressive and unprecedentedly faithful renditions of "Maple Leaf Rag" and "Honky Tonk Train Blues" as well as an original tune--"Barrelhouse Shake-Down"--in a similar mold. Lake's balladic leanings are eloquently expressed in the poignant, devotional "Watching Over You." Palmer's precise polyrhythmic capabilities and previously underexposed compositional talents are seen on the instrumental "Close But Not Touching."
