Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1970 eponymous LP was only a rehearsal.
It hit hard because of the novelty of the act, but felt more like a collection of individual efforts and ideas than a collective work.
All doubts were dissipated by the release of Tarkus in 1971.
Side one of the original LP is occupied by the 21-minute title epic track, beating both Genesis' "Supper's Ready" and Yes' "Close to the Edge" by a year.
Unlike the latter group's cut-and-paste technique to obtain long suites, "Tarkus" is a thoroughly written, focused piece of music which remains among one of the greatest tracks in prog history.
Side 1: Tarkus
Side 2: Jeremy Bender / Bitches Crystal / The Only Way / Infinite Space / A Time And A Place / Are You Ready Eddy
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels free from any obvious spindle traces

Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but a few harmless wispy hairless visible under bright light
VINYL Audio: MINT
Plays perfectly throughout with nothing to fault.
Great sound. Strong, crystal clear, clean and immediate

The gatefold has some storage rub to the edges and surfaces but it's clean, good and solid and all spine text is clear and bold
