These are a pair of reissue albums by the Nice featuring Keith Emerson who sadly has recently passed. He was quite ill and sped up the process on his own.
These albums are both pairs of albums that were reissued. The first one has the corner cut off which means not only was it a reissue it was marked down.
Keith Emerson is best known for Emerson Lake and Palmer. The were hated by the rock press along with other progressive rock bands like Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant and King Crimson. Keith Emerson made the favorites of his critics sound like the fizz from Alka Selzter. Take that rock press.
One of my favorite bands Caper. Didn't realize they were so hated by their peers. Shame on those guys because I like them too. So sad about Keith an apparently a suicide from what I read. We seem to be losing so many rock icons this year. As for critics they are just that. One persons opinion ! Even the classical greats suffered their painful stings and their music still endures just like Keith's.
Oooops...so sorry Fort too early in the morning...lol
Love Yes
Haven't heard them in a while
Got to update Spotify with some of there music
I just heard the disturbed version of sounds of silience last night
Wow is all I can say.
El and p were a great band too but I don't think I ever heard his solo stuff
Thank you very much Mike. It was the rock press ie Rolling Stone magazine that didn't care for Keith and his type of music
Thank you very much Gruff. The Nice was Keith's band before ELP. Has a very 60s groovy vibe.
Thank you
