Emerson, Lake & Palmer drummer Carl Palmer is to have a career-spanning three-CD and one Blu-ray boxset Fanfare “For The Common Man” released through BMG on April 5, 2024.
The new set features Palmer‘s time as one third of the pioneering Progressive Rock group, but also stretches back to include his time in freakbeat band The Craig and features tracks from Palmer‘s time with Chris Farlowe, Atomic Rooster. The set also includes post ELP bands such as his PM, Asia and 3, as well as his work with Mike Oldfield and The Buddy Rich Orchestra, and both the Carl Palmer Band and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy.
“Fanfare For The Common Man” also features a Blu-Rray disc featuring “The Rhythm of Life,” an audio-visual documentary, narrated by Palmer himself with live and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of LP, Asia, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, Carl Palmer Band and ELP Legacy and appearances from Frank Sinatra, Carmine Appice, Buddy Rich, Tony Iommi, Alice Cooper and more. Palmer‘s 200-page autobiography, illustrated with photos from his personal archive, is also included.
As Carl Palmer approaches his 74th birthday he shows no sign of slowing down. He is currently on tour in the USA, with the acclaimed Return Of Emerson Lake & Palmer show, which combines rare footage of Keith Emerson and Greg Lake from ELP’s 1992 Royal Albert Hall shows with Palmer and his Legacy band live on stage all playing together.
