This Rhino anthology is as close as anyone's ever got to a really comprehensive ELP compilation. THE BEST OF... covers the group's most commercially successful material as well as the lesser-known tracks that show different sides of their collective persona.

Things begin on an uncharacteristically subtle note with the slinky Greg Lake folk-rock ballad "From the Beginning." From here, the pomp and circumstance is turned up full blast for a version of the hymn "Jerusalem." The band's predilection for tampering with the classical repertoire can be heard on Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" and "Hoedown," which also showcase Keith Emerson's trademark lightning-fast Hammond riffing. "Lucky Man" and "C'est La Vie" offer more relatively low-key Lake balladry, which contrasts nicely with the hard-edge prog-rock experimentalism of such epics as "Knife Edge," the 20-minute suite "Tarkus," and "Trilogy," one of the most underrated gems in the ELP catalog. Emerson shows his eclecticism with a boogie woogie piano romp on Meade Lux Lewis's "Honky Tonk Train Blues," and things close on a heartwarming note with the group's Yuletide favorite "I Believe in Father Christmas."

All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Personnel: Greg Lake (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Keith Emerson (keyboards); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion).

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars ELP'S BEST BEST OF
THIS COLLECTION HAS EVERY SONG THAT THE CASUAL FAN OF ELP WANTS AND 'MORE'. THE 'MORE' CAN BE AN AQUIRED TASTE AS THIER HITS WERE ACOUSTIC GUITAR ORIENTED WITH KEYBOARDS AS WINDOW DRESSING, WHILE HARD CORE FANS PREFER THE OVER THE TOP KEYBOARD PERFORMANCES ON THE NOT SO RADIO FRIENDLY SONGS. ALL IN ALL THE SONGS CHOSEN FOR THIS CD ARE THE BEST CHOICES FOR ELP'S BEST OF.
