Emerson, Lake & Palmer patria medzi najslávnejšie britské skupiny progresívneho rocku. Trio tvorili klávesista Keith Emerson (The Nice), basgitarista a spevák Greg Lake (King Crimson) a bubeník Carl Palmer (Atomic Rooster). Ich hudba kombinuje prvky klasickej hudby, jazzu a symfonického rocku, pričom vyniká okázalé využitie Hammondových organov, Moog syntetizátora a klavíra.
Kompilácia The Ultimate Collection z roku 2020 zhromažďuje na troch CD 36 skladieb z celej diskografie skupiny. Nechýba živá interpretácia Musorgského Pictures at an Exhibition, rozsiahla suita Tarkus, ani známe skladby Lucky Man, From the Beginning, Hoedown alebo Fanfare for the Common Man. Trojdielny kartónový obal v pevnej väzbe obsahuje kompaktné disky s prierezom tvorby jednej z komerčne najúspešnejších progresívnych rockových kapiel 70. rokov.
