A sweeping reissue campaign will follow Razor and Tie’s new signing of Emerson Lake and Palmer to an exclusive multi-year licensing deal for North America.
That begins with The Best of Emerson Lake and Palmer: Comes and See the Show, available now in stores and on iTunes. The 14-song compilation features the trio’s most memorable songs, including “Lucky Man,” “From The Beginning,” “I Believe In Father Christmas,” and a full 9-minute edition of “Fanfare For The Common Man.”
“As Emerson, Lake & Palmer remain unique in their categories, it’s only fitting that they are now with a record company with a unique name like ‘Razor and Tie,” says band co-founder Keith Emerson. “Don’t question anything as the music speaks for itself, and ‘Razor and Tie’ yells volumes on ELP’s behalf.”
Later this year, look for newly expanded, remastered version of ELP’s first six albums — 1970’s Emerson Lake and Palmer; 1971’s Tarkus and Pictures at an Art Exhibition; 1972’s Trilogy; 1973’s Brain Salad Surgery; and 1974’s Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends.
“We are very excited and honored to distribute and represent the Emerson Lake and Palmer catalog,” said Razor and Tie co-owner Cliff Chenfeld. “ELP helped create prog rock and we will use this opportunity to bring ELP’s amazing body of work to an even broader audience — and to finally understand what the Tarkus album cover means.”
