Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Double LP. Embossed tri-fold cover looks good; a few creases near edges; very light-scuffing and slight discoloration with a few discoloration spots on inner-gate; heavier scuffing and surface abrasions (front/back); surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeves are original (poly-lined paper); 2 seams partially split, one seam completely split, and a small bit of writing on one side. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear and discoloration. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge, heavier wear along bottom-edge and corners. Openings are crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Works Volume 1, by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, is a double album spawing two singles, Fanfare for the Common Man and C'est la Vie. Following their successful 1974 world tour, the group took a break from recording and touring. They relocated to Montreux, Switzerland and Paris, France to record a new album. Each member was allocated one side of a record to write and arrange his own tracks which were performed by the group. The fourth side features songs written by the entire group. Emerson wrote his Piano Concerto No. 1, Lake wrote several songs with Peter Sinfield, and Palmer picked tracks of varied styles.
