Episode 30: Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Works Volume 1

After releasing their best album, 1973's Brain Salad Surgery, Emerson, Lake and Palmer embarked on a world tour, followed by a much-needed break.  When they returned they did so with the double album Works Volume 1, featuring one side each of solo material and one side as a band.  To say it was spotty is an understatement, and more than anything highlighted a group that was becoming tired of working together.
