EMERSON LAKE & PALMER PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION (LASER DISC VERSION)

Emerson, Lake & Palmer Pictures at an Exhibition 1970 (Laser Disc Version 1990)


This is a special gift to Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) fans around the world: the Laserdisc extended version (90 minutes!) of the legendary “Pictures at an Exhibition” show, at the Lyceum Theatre, London, December 9th, 1970. Plus a Bonus!

The 90-minute show version is still unavailable on DVD and Blu-Ray and it seems things are going to keep that way. It was officially released only on Laserdisc in 1990, and in this torrent you will get such edition captured to DVD discs in top quality, in a 3 DVD custom set (NTSC, Region 0) including Bonus!
