EMERSON LAKE & PALMER TO RELEASE 4-CD BOX SET OF REMASTERED LIVE RARITIES AND BOOTLEGS

A new 4-CD box set celebrating progressive rock’s most prolific supergroup, Emerson Lake & Palmer, will be released by Shout! Factory on July 27. A Time And A Place is the definitive ELP bootleg collection, bringing together 4 CDs of prime unreleased material from 1970 to 1998. These fully authorized, remastered live performances were taken from the best-possible soundboard recordings (discs 1 through 3) and audience tapes (disc 4). The set also includes a collectible poster and liner notes by Jim Allen.

A Time And A Place brings together a select body of performances captured before worldwide audiences during the band’s career. From the group’s raw and unrestrained sound of the early ’70s, their rearrangements of compositions by internationally renowned composers, to their timeless conceptual pieces such as “Tarkus,” “Karn Evil 9” and “Pirates,” ELP have always been a band to push hard against musical boundaries.

With Keith Emerson on keyboards, Greg Lake on bass and vocals and Carl Palmer on drums, ELP broadened the audience for progressive rock. The band released a series of landmark albums in the 1970s, and several more in the 90s after a 14 year hiatus.

Other ELP releases available on Shout! Factory: the comprehensive two-CD anthology The Essential Emerson Lake & Palmer, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibition, Trilogy, Come And See The Show: The Best Of Emerson Lake & Palmer, Brain Salad Surgery, Works Volume 1 and Volume 2, Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends, Emerson Lake & Palmer In Concert, and the DVD Live At The Royal Albert Hall.
