Remastered reissue of the 2 solo albums released by Greg Lake. At the time after the break up of ELP, he was experimenting to work out what direction to take musically. The first recordings for the self titled debut was made in LA and included almost all members of Toto. The LA sessions wasn’t used for the album though, instead 10 tracks recorded with session musicians after his return to England was chosen. 3 of the songs from LA sessions are included here as bonus tracks.
Recordings for his second release “Manoeuvres” began soon after finishing the first album. In general terms the album can be described roughly as divided into two parts: Rockers and Power Ballads. The album was his last studio album as a solo artist as he shortly after would join Asia as replacement for John Wetton. Included here as bonus track is “Hold Me” from the Manoeuvres recordings but not included on the original release.
