Emerson Lake & Palmer released "The Best Of Emerson Lake & Palmer" first in Europe on Ariola Eurodisc and then on Atlantic Records in the U.S. in 1980. It includes nine iconic tracks including "Lucky Man," "Still.... You Turn Me On," and "Karn Evil 9," plus "Peter Gunn" which was recorded live at Montreal's Olympic Stadium.
This is a very rare copy of (202 933) on Ariola Records which is the original release that was Imported from Germany. Most available copies of this album have Atlantic labels and were issued as (SD 19283). The cover and original inner sleeve are in Near-Mint condition. Please see the pictures. The disc looks great and Test Plays cleanly and is easily VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. The lacquer was cut at Strawberry Mastering in London and this copy was pressed at Sonopress in Munich, Germany. The Side One dead wax is stamped 202933 A-1/80S Strawberry Made In Germany.
In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve. It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture.
