Cathrine Palmer

This three CD set containing a trio of classic albums from one of Prog Rock's biggest acts. This set includes the albums Live In Poland, Live At The Royal Albert Hall and Live At Isle Of Wight Festival 1970.

In 1977, after three years' time off working on various solo projects – which were to have culminated with a trio of solo albums – Emerson, Lake & Palmer reunited to release Works, Vol. 1, a double LP containing the best of the solo works plus a side of group-conceived pieces. All in all, it was the most ambitious and wide-ranging body of music they'd ever released, and was followed by the more modestly proportioned but still successful Works, Vol. 2 in November of that year, and a tour that fall and winter; in keeping with the albums that spawned it, the concerts initially featured a 90-piece orchestra supporting the trio.

Ein trüber Novembertag des Jahres 1989 in der amerikanischen Kleinstadt Twin Peaks nahe der kanadischen Grenze. Ein einsamer Angler findet, verschnürt in einen Plastiksack, die Leiche einer jungen Frau, die an das Seeufer geschwemmt wurde. Erste Ermittlungen des örtlichen Sheriffs ergeben, dass es sich bei der Toten um die gerade erst 17jährige Laura Palmer handelt, die allseits beliebt und geachtet war. Erst kürzlich war das ausgesprochen hübsche Mädchen zur Homecoming Queen ihrer Highschool in Twin Peaks gewählt worden. Schon bald ergeben Sheriff Harry S. Trumans Ermittlungen, dass der Fall Laura Palmer weitaus größere Dimensionen hat, als ursprünglich vermutet.

Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley is Robert Palmer's debut solo album, released in 1974. It was his first effort after three album releases co-fronting the band Vinegar Joe. Palmer is backed by The Meters and Lowell George of Little Feat. Multiple reviewers have commented that Palmer sang confidently on this album, despite being backed by more accomplished musicians such as Lowell George, Art Neville and New Orleans singer-songwriter Allen Toussaint. Recorded in New Orleans, Louisiana, New York, and Compass Point Studios in Nassau, the album was released on compact disc in 1990. The album peaked at #107 in the US.

Coming on the heels of the massive success of the Power Station, Riptide packages Robert Palmer's voice and suave personality into a commercial series of mostly rocking songs that seem custom-tailored to be chart hits. The Power Station connection threatens to overpower Palmer's usually more eclectic musical interest, but with that band's producer/member Bernard Edwards handling production duties and members Andy Taylor and Tony Thompson contributing as well, stylistic similarities were inevitable.
