Lucky man - Emerson, Lake and Palmer

Keith Emerson from the band The Nice and Greg Lake and Carl Palmer from King Crimson started working together after their two respective bands shared the same venue on two occasions in 1969. They released their debut album, the self-titled 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer' in 1970. This album brought forth the single 'Lucky man'. It didn't chart in the UK but it was a number 12 hit in the Netherlands.

The single pictured here is a re-release. The sleeve nor the label lists a year of release, but I could tell because the backside of the sleeve pictures subsequent albums by the band.
