Emerson, Lake & Palmer / Fanfare 1970-1997: career-spanning 24-disc box set

Fanfare 1970 – 1997 is a lavish and comprehensive career-spanning new box set that showcases the talents of English progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

The set mixes familiar content (classic albums on CD) with less familiar fare, including newly remastered versions of late period albums (Love Beach, Black Moon and In The Hot Seat) and a quartet of CDs featuring previously unreleased live performances (mastered by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham).

This is a multi-media package – it includes 18 CDs and five pieces of vinyl (a 3LP Live in Italy album and two seven-inch singles). A blu-ray audio includes 5.1 surround mixes of four albums, plus hi-res stereo mixes and bonus tracks.

Also included are a host of nostalgic memorabilia artefacts: replica tour programmes, poster, brochure and a 40-page hardcover book which takes you through ELP’s career, album-by-album. There’s also a metal pin badge for good measure. Much of the paper items above are secured in a bespoke wallet, which sits on top of the contents when you open the lid of the box.

Produced by BMG, this is a box in the style of When Slade Rocked The World, or Frankie Goes To Hollywood‘s Inside The Pleasuredome. The CDs reside within a foam fitment at the bottom, with the vinyl, book and wallet stacked on top. Each box is numbered (a limited edition of 3000), although the numbering is on the ‘spec sheet’ on the rear and not the box itself.

Fanfare 1970 – 1997  will be released on 27 October 2017. It can be purchased from PledgeMusic for £152, and through Pledge you get an exclusive bonus CD of the previously unreleased Black Moon – Rough Album Mixes. If you can do without that, it’s £113 on Amazon UK right now.
