Just played my Brain Salad and Trilogy cd's, there is nothing wrong with the quality of either of those cd's.How can anyone say Benny the Bouncer or track #7 on Trilogy sound bad? I won't be purchasing any new versions as these originals are good enough.
SACD News Emerson Lake & Palmer
Coming Soon
Emerson Lake & Palmer/Brain Salad Surgery-35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition ....import double CD + SACD set $41.95
Brain Salad Surgery is the fourth studio album by progressive rock band Emerson Lake & Palmer, released in 1973 and the first under their Manticore Records imprint. (announced in a press release that they now had both the financial and musical freedom to realize their fantasies). Just as striking as the music was the album's artwork. With other progressive acts becoming as well known for their album cover art as their music, ELP's covers up to this point looked fairly undistinguished in comparison. Having encountered the art of HR Giger whilst on tour in Switzerland, Keith felt that there was a immediate match between his art and their music, later stating: "...it was dark and very foreboding, and for me it represented ELP's music". The band released a flexi 7'' single of new material in conjunction with the New Musical Express. The disk contained extracts of the album and a track entitled Brain Salad Surgery, recorded during left over studio time. With the album in the can, the band went straight back out on the road again in the USA and then in Europe, further cementing their position at the top of the premiere league of acts in the USA. They did this using the most ambitious spectacular presentation ever mobilised for a group, comprising 35 tons of equipment, a quadraphonic sound system, a huge convoy of trucks. This re-issue features a bonus CD which includes the flexi-disc tracks, alternative mixes of all tracks on the album and other bonuses, and a bonus SACD with both stereo and 5.1 mixes of the album all housed in a deluxe package with informative liner notes and a booklet crammed with rare photos and memorbilia.
