Now that I’ve again got a working cassette player, I’ve been listening to Emerson, Lake & Palmer #ELP Works, from 1977. At the time, I don’t think I appreciated they were a ‘super group’ - from #TheNice, #KingCrimson & #AtomicRooster.
Not heard these tapes for decades, yet I still know every lyric, and Greg Lake’s vocals still have the ability to make me go weak at the knees. #music
