GREG LAKE Receives Honorary Degree; Two Solo Albums Re-Released

Greg Lake is the co-founder of King Crimson and Emerson Lake & Palmer (ELP), and wrote the hit “Lucky Man” and co-wrote “I Believe In Father Christmas”.

This 2-CD set collects together both of Lake’s two solo albums, his first self-titled album (1981) and his second album Manoeuvres (1983). The set includes four bonus tracks, which have never been included on any reissue of the albums, only on separate rarities albums.

The first album and its three bonus tracks feature all of the members of Toto with the exception of Bobby Kimball as Lake handles all lead vocals. Both albums also feature appearances Gary Moore on guitar.

Both CDs have received a 2015 remaster, which has the personal approval of Greg Lake. The booklet includes extensive liner notes. This is a great and easy way to buy both of Greg Lake’s studio albums and all the rarities connected to these albums in one place.
