Not yet, Mate. A little bird told me that my kids have sent one of these to Greenland to be wrapped by Santa's helpers.

"The prog rock supergroup Emerson, Lake & Palmer will get their first official book ELP, out later this year.
ELP was created by Carl Palmer and the families of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake — who both died in 2016. It contains unpublished interviews, rare photos, recordings, and more. “This is the definitive Emerson, Lake & Palmer book,” Palmer said in a statement, included in the video below. “There are photographs which I’ve never, ever seen before — can you imagine, after all this time? This is the story as it happened, as the group told it, because it’s in our own words. What a fantastic book.”
The book will be available for preorder in May. Three editions will be released: Classic, Signature, and Ultimate. The latter two are signed by Palmer and family members, with an additional CD of archival interviews and other items."
In 2013, Lake spoke about the trio to Rolling Stone — as well as “From the Beginning,” included on our list of essential ELP songs. “Although we did some extravagant things — though they look tame and restrained by today’s standards — but at the time we had 140 people on the road with 11 tractor-trailers. We had our own doctor and all these crazy things. But for us, it was not just trying to be as loud and as big as we could. We were always trying to go one step further, one step bigger. In the end, it became a huge production, but it wasn’t gratuitous. It was linked directly to the music.”

Hopefully I'll be getting one of those too. I've dropped enough hints, FFS.
If not, divorce proceedings will be imminent.

Yes, they're individually sleeved - gatefolds no less. If you split the set up and throw the box away then I think you need to be sectioned.

Wont throw it away i will give it away with the concerts i wouldn't be seen dead keeping. You don't realised how much i hate ELP after the 70's. I walked out of the 'BLACK MOON' gig at Manchester Apollo. 'IN CONCERT' LP will never get re-issued in its original format not now the thing was expanded on CD to 'WORKS LIVE'. So as you can understand i need that CANADA Live '77 gig. No different to the VDGG 'AEROSOL GREY MACHINE' set. Only wanted the LP reissue in the proposed UK sleeve, not the booklet & CD's. |

If you've got an HMV near you then you can go and look at one. They've all been instructed to hold between 3 and 5 of the boxsets depending on the size of the store.
I was at that Manchester gig in '92 too and I thought they were great. It was the first time I'd seen them in years.

Emerson did brush past me with his ribbon controller tho lol. Didnt like the Husky voice Lake had & certainly didn't like the sound of Palmers kit. Suppose it was a bit too much them being the same as they were in the 70's cos bands arnt which is why i generally don't go see old bands. |

If you go to the store make sure to ask to see it, as they're not in the most obvious places. For example, in the store I went to there was one near the checkout, one high up on display that you needed to squint to actually see, and some stored under the vinyl racks. |
