Hi Steve, I was fortunate enough to see them at Olympia London 3rd January 1976, at the 'Great British Music Festival', On the bill was Charlie, Be Bop Deluxe, Pretty Things, Slim Chance, Nazareth and headlining was Bad Company. All were pretty good, although Ronnie Lane and Slim Chance did not go down that well, a bit too laid back. I seem to remember my hearing suffered for several days after, happy memories.

Brain Salad Surgery at is release was not well received by several critics, even so it reached 2 on the UK charts and 11 in USA, and was Gold(100K) in UK and USA(500K). It is probably the most varied of all of ELPs albums, with a mix of heavy rock, flowing jazz and pop songs. Some of the org rock tracks are quite dark and intense taking several listens to get. IMO a bit of a classic for album.

In 2005, Q Classic and Mojo magazines placed Brain Salad Surgery at number 5 on their "40 Cosmic Rock Albums", which was published in the special edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock.[38] In 2015, it was ranked the 12th greatest progressive rock album of all time by Rolling Stone, whose reviewer Will Hermes characterised the record as "prescient and pretty damn rocking"

I've been looking to buy this on vinyl, as I only have it on CD. Love that sleeve art! But the re-issues sold through Amazon have some terrible reviews re. sound quality. Will have to seek out a NM used copy, but they ain't cheap

Manticore early UK pressing or possibly Very early USA press heavier vinyl but will be more money and possibly noisier background due to re-cycled vinyl at the time due to oil shortage wars.
