Coming Soon – Pre-Order Now
Emerson, Lake & Palmer Push Creative Boundaries on Tarkus: 1971 Prog Staple Features Theatrical Title Track, Diverse Arrangements, and Iconic Armadillo-Themed Cover Art Mastered at MoFi’s California Studio for Audiophile Sound: Mobile Fidelity’s Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD of 1971 Set Plays with Excellent Clarity, Openness, and Detail Tarkus likely remains the only album in existence that links jazz luminary Dave Brubeck, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, recording engineer Eddy Offord, Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, American genius Frank Zappa, and German multi-hyphenate Johann Sebastian Bach. At once diverse, ambitious, and complex, Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s sophomore statement proved fantastically successful and accessible. It reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and, in the U.S., climbed into the Top 10. The 1971 effort also propelled the British group to the forefront of the concert scene and became instantly identifiable via its now-iconic cover art.

In a move that foreshadowed what she would continue to do throughout her career, Mitchell dares to imagine – and deliver – novel ways of conveying emotion, color, thought, and wisdom via elegant combinations of music and lyrics.
