Prog Magazine Issue 125 (December 2021) Emerson, Lake & Palmer

NOTE: The export/US edition of Prog does not come with the "The Art of Hugh Syme" 2022 calendar that comes with the UK edition -- just the cover-mount CD.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Tarkus is 50 this year, and we celebrate the album on the cover of the brand new issue of Prog Magazine, which is on sale now.

Tarkus is arguably one of THE highlights of the 50+ year career of ELP. In the new issue of Prog we go behind the scenes of the making of the 1971 album with a brand new interview with Carl Palmer. We also feature an exclusive extract from the brand new ELP book about the album. And Carl also discusses his lengthy career as well as the ELP book and the new ELP live box set too.
