Product Description
This two-disc set compiles all the top tracks from prog rock's first supergroup - comprising former members of The Nice, King Crimson and Atomic Rooster - who dominated the charts in the early 1970s with their dizzying technical prowess and epic fusion of hard rock with classical bombast. Bringing together tracks from across their career, including several from their highly acclaimed live albums, this makes a fine addition to Sony's Essential series.

It's all over the place. It'd be better if it was chronological. Who buys this stuff??

Is that really the original Greg Lake solo version of "I Believe in Father Christmas"? AFAIK, it's only available on a very expensive CD single.

Well, great. Not only is another band embarking on a needless new reissue campaign, but Sony (in the UK at least) is changing the cover template for the Essential series.

Between Greg Lake and ELP, there's so many versions of that song it's hard to keep track!
