Emerson, Lake & Palmer – ‘From The Beginning / When The Apple Blossoms Bloom’ (Dope Jams Edit) (Unknown US ) 12″

This special green slab of wax brings together two Emerson, Lake & Palmer tracks, one of them with a fresh twist from Dope Jams. The classic ballad ‘From the Beginning’ is rich in warm acoustic guitar and Greg Lake’s evocative vocals so it stands as one of the band’s most beloved and accessible moments. On the flip, ‘When the Apple Blossoms Bloom…’ receives a bold Dope Jams Kaatskill Mountain take, which flips it into a sprawling, psychedelic-drenched remix that infuses the instrumental with hypnotic grooves and experimental textures. With both cuts on one 12″, this one is both a nod to prog rock’s legacy and a bridge to new sonic frontiers.
