Brain Salad Surgery is Emerson Lake and Palmer's masterpiece. The trio's fourth album (fifth if you include the live Pictures At An Exhibition), Brain Salad Surgery was released in December 1973, and went to #2 in the UK, #11 in the US. The album boasted some of ELP's most popular numbers: the ballad "Still... You Turn Me On," the spellbinding "Jerusalem" and the epochal "Karn Evil 9." Add to that a sleeve design that regularly tops artwork polls (and introduced the world to the work of HR Giger, years before his work on the Alien movie), pile on one of the most thought-provoking titles any album has carried, and Brain Salad Surgery remains one of the most effectively packaged, performed and produced records of all time. Completely remastered from the original analog tapes.
Features two previously unreleased bonus tracks. Housed in a replica of the original LP packaging, including deluxe fold-out sleeve and die-cut mini-poster. Also includes a 24-page booklet featuring rare photos and a detailed essay by music journalist Dave Thompson.
