During the interim of ELP's breakup, keyboardist Keith Emerson and bassist/vocalist Greg Lake got together with Cozy Powell (presumably to keep from changing the band's initials?), whose resume includes Rainbow, Whitesnake, and Black Sabbath. What followed was a PHENOMENAL piece of work! When I bought this I listened to it over and over again for over a month. The frustrating part was hearing an instrumental version of "Locomotion" on the radio, which didn't appear on the album or CD at first. I searched high and low for it and finally gave up, and for awhile wondered if in fact I had imagined it. Well, years passed, and here I run across a reissued or import CD (whichever) with two extra songs on it, one being the one I was looking for! How cool.
