Ed’s Letter
Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Prog magazine. I’ve been listening to the work of Keith Emerson a lot of late, understandably for this issue’s celebration of Keith’s colossal talent, and also because I worked on the brand-new Variations box set, which is out now through Spirit Of Unicorn Music. In many ways, these hours of enjoying Keith’s work with ELP, The Nice and his own solo work has taken me back to my early teens, when I first heard Brain Salad Surgery, my gateway into his world, and an album I picked up second-hand from Cheapo Cheapo Records in London’s Soho for the princely sum of £1.40 (this was the early 80s!).
