EMERSON LAKE & PALMER - TARKUS Vinyl LP
Emerson, Lake & Palmer Push Creative Boundaries on Tarkus: 1971 Prog Staple Features Theatrical Title Track, Diverse Arrangements, and Iconic Armadillo-Themed Cover Art Mastered at MoFi's California Studio and Pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition 180g 33RPM LP Plays with Rich, Detailed Sound and Exceptional Definition Tarkus likely remains the only album in existence that links jazz luminary Dave Brubeck, Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, country legend Eddie Kramer, Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, American genius Frank Zappa, and German multihyphenate Johann Sebastian Bach.
At once diverse, ambitious, and complex, Emerson, Lake & Palmer's sophomore statement proved fantastically successful and accessible. It reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and, in the U.S., climbed into the Top 10. The 1971 effort also propelled the British group to the forefront of the concert scene and became instantly identifiable via it's now-iconic cover art. Mastered at MoFi's California studio, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM LP of Tarkus presents the gold-certified effort in audiophile sound.
Clear, dynamic, and balanced, it honors the fastidious approaches that informed the playing and recording of the record. With black backgrounds, dead-quiet surfaces, and exceptional definition, this collectible reissue brings to light the tonal depth and virtuosic musicianship on display. You'll relish the separation, imaging, and timing that help make every song come across with involving presence. These sonic signposts extend to the snorkel-tube-inspired Moog synthesizer on 'Aquatarkus,' the pipe organ on 'The Only Way (Hymn),' and the improvisational jamming on the lighthearted rave-up 'Are You Ready Eddy?' From the first to the last note, from the cover to the final illustration, Tarkus is the complete package.
