Variations 20CD Boxset

A definitive Keith Emerson 20 CD set presented in 10 x 10” box with a 48 page book.

Featuring virtuoso performances from throughout KE‘s incredible career, the set contains material from his time in The Nice and ELP, his ventures into composing and performing movie soundtracks, and his solo works.

The set’s sleeve notes have been written by Jerry Ewing (Editor of Prog Magazine) who casts a magnifying glass over the immense catalogue of this once-in-a-generation artist. Ewing speaks with many of Emerson’s collaborators and delivers a fascinating history of the man behind the keyboard.

The book features many never-before-seen photos taken directly from the Emerson family archive.

Mastered from the best available sources by renowned engineer Andy Pearce, the set also contains previously unreleased show from BB Kings in 2004.

The collection has been curated with the full involvement and blessing of the Emerson family, which has allowed for the inclusion of some unique and rare material.

A tribute, in the truest sense, to one of the greatest musicians of all time.
