Brain Salad Surgery Limited Numbered - Sacd Hybrid -Papersleeve

"Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends."

These famous words from bassist and guitarist Greg Lake sum up the theatricality, tension, scope and fascination of "Brain Salad Surgery" - the fourth studio album from Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Originally released in late 1973, the album shows the trio in control of the situation from start to finish, incorporating several studio premieres. The platinum-selling work is also considered one of the greatest prog rock achievements in history. Its cohesive blend of musicianship, songwriting and production set a standard that is still revered by fans and critics alike decades later.

Mobile Fidelity's numbered hybrid SACD edition of Brain Salad Surgery is based on the original analog master tapes and is available in mini-LP-style gatefold packaging with a fold-out insert. It presents the album that ELP member Carl Palmer described as his favorite album in audiophile sound quality. Clear, dynamic and balanced, this collector's edition pays tribute to the meticulous approach that characterized the playing and recording of the album. It brings out the epic range, sonic depth and high level of virtuosity.

Key features - textures, nuances, effects, melodies, tempo changes - that go hand in hand with the trio's compositions and interplay are rendered in a wide soundstage and given precise detail. Whether you own multiple copies of this milestone or are seeking one for the first time, you'll delight in the presence, separation, imaging and solidity that help each passage come across as the group intended.
