My favourite live album.
The sonics on Spotify are just immense.

For me Leprous is one of my favourite progressive bands. Modern and ambitious always following their own path

Time for another Live album, from one of the first signs HM IMO, although quite blues based, ahead of their time. As live recordings go it is pretty good, Nantucket Sleighride is pretty extravagant an excuse for the band to let rip and jam. Mountain – Twin Peaks Label: Columbia – PG 32818, Windfall Records – PG 32818 Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album Country: US Released: 1974

Calvin Russell - A Crack in Time open.qobuz.com/track/1537021Wonderful album, incredible life and sadly died too young. This one is his pinnacle and well worth listening to.

If you have thought about trying out Atomic Rooster this is well worth a listen, a compilation released as a tribute to Vincent Crane shortly after his death by his wile and former bandmate John Du Cann. Alternatively their 2nd album "The Devil Walks Behind You" is a classic and luckily has been re-released in very high quality- MOVLP1907, originals fetch silly money. Atomic Rooster – The Devil Hits Back Label: Demi Monde – DMLP 1023 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo Country: UK Released: 1989

Brain Salad Surgery at is release was not well received by several critics, even so it reached 2 on the UK charts and 11 in USA, and was Gold(100K) in UK and USA(500K). It is probably the most varied of all of ELPs albums, with a mix of heavy rock, flowing jazz and pop songs. Some of the org rock tracks are quite dark and intense taking several listens to get. IMO a bit of a classic for album. In 2005, Q Classic and Mojo magazines placed Brain Salad Surgery at number 5 on their "40 Cosmic Rock Albums", which was published in the special edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock.[38] In 2015, it was ranked the 12th greatest progressive rock album of all time by Rolling Stone, whose reviewer Will Hermes characterised the record as "prescient and pretty damn rocking" Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Brain Salad Surgery Label: Manticore – MC 66669, Manticore – K53501 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold Country: UK Released: Dec 1973

Karn Evil 9, the big three-parter, is simply superb. Shame that the album is so poorly recorded.

Karn Evil 9, the big three-parter, is simply superb. Shame that the album is so poorly recorded. The copy I have is not too bad, quite good dynamics and separation, I suspected some of it being down to too long pressing runs causing issues with SQ. I had this issue with Genesis - And There Were Three, I found an early Canadian pressing and they were chalk and cheese to the UK one. I was considering trying this with BSS and then discovered that nearly all vinyl pressings are slightly dull. Apparently all early pressing came form the USA, possibly due to WEA pressing plant not being up to speed at that time. Some say that the later Manticore UK pressings are better and have less background noise, this is what I have and it is pretty acceptable, although some parts loose dynamics.
