Emerson, Lake & Palmer Expand Their Fusion of Rock, Classical, and Jazz Themes on Trilogy: Includes the Hit Ballad 'From the Beginning' and Interpretation of Copland's 'Hoedown'

Mastered at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's Studio and Housed in a Stoughton Gatefold Jacket: Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM LP of 1972 Album Plays with Spectacular Dynamics and Clarity

There's a reason Greg Lake deemed Trilogy 'such an accurate record' when looking back at it decades later. Emerson, Lake & Palmer's third studio album teems with exacting arrangements, copious overdubs, and multi-hued colors that showcase the band's willingness to experiment and desire to put everything in it's proper place without becoming too self-serious. Expanding by distilling the ferocious power of it's debut and epic leanings of the preceding Tarkus into a more accessible whole, Trilogy stands as the most representative example of the ensemble's trademark styles.

Mastered at MoFi's California studio, housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM LP of Trilogy presents the gold-certified effort in audiophile quality marked by clear, direct, and dynamic sound. With black backgrounds, quiet surfaces, and exceptional definition, the reissue brings to fore the visionary depth and virtuosic musicianship. Newly unveiled degrees of separation, imaging, and timing help make the compositions come across with involving presence. In sum, it's a remarkable representation of what Keith Emerson summarized in a period interview as 'progressive rock with a lot of regard for the past.'
