Emerson Lake and Palmer / “Brain Salad Surgery” super deluxe box

Sony Music / Legacy Recordings have chosen the week the album turns 40 to announce that Emerson Lake And Palmer‘s Brain Salad Surgery will be reissued on 7 April 2014 as a Super Deluxe Edition box set.

Full details will be announced next year, until then all we know is that box will feature brand new 5.1 mixes, previously unreleased material and original HR Giger artwork.

Brain Salad Surgery was released in 1973 and was ELP’s first album on their own Manticore imprint. As well as the Super Deluxe Edition we can expect a cheaper deluxe edition and a new vinyl version as part of the 40th Anniversary Celebrations.
