Emerson, Lake & Palmer | Works Volume 2 [1977]
We are always ready to talk about Emerson, Lake & Palmer... such a special, unique, amazing group possibly of the likes that are never to be seen again! It's been so much fun listening to this album, truly.
Works Volume 2 is the sixth studio album by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in November 1977. Unlike Works Volume 1 (which consisted of three solo sides and one ensemble side), Works Volume 2 was a single album and it was seemingly a compilation of leftover tracks from other album sessions. While many derided the album for its apparent lack of focus, others praised it for showing a different side of the band than usual, with blues, bluegrass and jazz being very prominent as musical genres in this recording.
The remastered 2017 version of the album is expanded to a double-CD by the inclusion of the complete Works Live, an extended version of Emerson, Lake & Palmer in Concert.
"When the Apple Blossoms Bloom...", "Tiger in a Spotlight" and "Brain Salad Surgery" had been recorded at the 1973 sessions for the album Brain Salad Surgery but did not appear on it. Keith Emerson's cover of "Honky Tonk Train Blues" had been released as a single in 1976, reaching #21 in the UK singles chart.[5]
Volume 2 also included a stripped-down version of Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas". An orchestral version of the song had previously been released as a solo Lake single in the UK in 1975 and became something of an annual Christmas standard there.
