Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 1970 eponymous LP was only a rehearsal.
It hit hard because of the novelty of the act, but felt more like a collection of individual efforts and ideas than a collective work.
All doubts were dissipated by the release of Tarkus in 1971.
Side one of the original LP is occupied by the 21-minute title epic track, beating both Genesis' "Supper's Ready" and Yes' "Close to the Edge" by a year.
Unlike the latter group's cut-and-paste technique to obtain long suites, "Tarkus" is a thoroughly written, focused piece of music which remains among one of the greatest tracks in prog history.

VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Outstanding sound quality - crystal clear, strong, sharp and detailed and my play-check at loud volume found little to fault - a touch of low-level surface noted on some of the quiet passages but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spines - nothing really
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean, unmarked and solid - some rub to the surfaces especially on the back edge
