Sony to re-issue Emerson, Lake And Palmer
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 14 December 2010
Well, here’s something I’ve literally not been waiting for at all. Sony Music has signed a new deal with Emerson, Lake And Palmer to re-issue their back catalogue.
The band’s manager Stewart Young is quoted by Music Week thus: “We are extremely excited about our recent signing with Sony. The ELP catalogue has an enormous potential for development and we feel that together with Sony we can achieve great things”.
Richard Connell, General Manager of the label’s catalogue division Sony CMG, added: “The 1970s music scene can almost be defined by Emerson, Lake And Palmer and Sony Music is thrilled to be the custodian of such an important catalogue. These are the albums that firmly established ELP as the true kings of progressive rock with an influence that endures today”.
The campaign will begin with a compilation, ‘The Essential ELP’, on 10 Jan, followed by the band’s first six albums on 14 Feb.
