Pictures at an Exhibition LP(Emerson, Lake & Palmer album)HELP 1. Signed by Greg Lake-"Best Wishes, Greg Lake" . I'm a retired firefighter. Many years ago my Fire Captain told me that he and his wife were going to England to visit his wife's nephew who was a motocross rider.  He(the nephew) happened to be sponsored by Greg Lake. I asked him to take 2 of my record albums with him to the UK and see if Greg would sign them. This is one of those albums. They all had dinner together one night and Greg signed both. I just played it and it seems to be in "good+" condition. I have not had the signature authenticated. My boss brought back a photo which had the King Crimson  album pictured but not this one. Pictured in the photo are the nephew, his date or wife, Greg Lake, Greg's wife Regina(I think) and my boss holding the other album.

From Wikipedia-  a live album by the English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in November 1971 on Island Records. It is a recording of the band's arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, performed at Newcastle City Hall on 26 March 1971. Emerson wished to arrange the piece after seeing an orchestral performance of it several years before. He bought a copy of the score, and pitched the idea to Lake and Palmer, who agreed to adapt it. Pictures at an Exhibition went to number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and number 10 on the US Billboard 200.

The band's arrangement of the suite only uses four of the original ten pieces in Mussorgsky's suite, along with the linking "Promenade". The suite was performed live as one continuous piece, with new, group-written sections linking Mussorgsky's original themes, specific track markings on pressings are only a guide. Mussorgsky's original compositions are listed in bold.

1. Promenade: Organ solo (instrumental, more information see above)
2. The Gnome: Group (instrumental)
3. Promenade: Hammond organ and vocal
4. (Interlude: short synthesizer solo, not a Mussorgsky piece)
5. The Sage: A new picture "drawn" by Lake in the mood of a medieval minnesang, works as sort of romantic prelude to "The Old Castle"
6. (Interlude: Moog-ribbon-controller-solo by Emerson, not a Mussorgsky piece)
7. The Old Castle: The full group performs a heavily accelerated adaptation of the original theme, leading directly into the next section
8. Blues Variation, a twelve-bar blues credited to the group
9. Promenade: Group (instrumental)
10. The Hut of Baba Yaga: Group (instrumental)
11. The Curse of Baba Yaga is a new title to the middle section of the original piece. The music is again an adaption of the original piece, only the lyrics and vocal is completely new to the piece
12. The Hut of Baba Yaga: Group (instrumental)
13. The Great Gates of Kiev is also the last picture of Mussorgsky's piano-cycle, with vocals and lyrics added by the group. The piece features a refrain in the middle containing Hammond organ feedback.
