Notes: This collection gives a representative sampling of all phases of Greg Lake's career, from King Crimson to ELP, with solo material and an appearance on Pete Sinfield's solo album all featured. The highlight of this set for Yes fans is the inclusion of two tracks from Ride The Tiger, Lake's previously unreleased collaboration with Geoff Downes. "Love Under Fire" was subsequently recorded by Asia, and "Money Talks" was reworked by ELP as "Paper Blood." ELP's recording of the Lake/Downes tune, "Affairs of the Heart," is also included in this set. (Ray Riethmeier/HP, 25 Mar 2005)
