Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 'Trilogy' And 'Pictures At An Exhibition' Get Audiophile Reissues

Official Announcement | Published: Mar 09, 2026 3:04 PM EDT

(Scoop) Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi), the leader in high-fidelity audio reissues, is proud to announce the audiophile release of two cornerstones of the progressive-rock canon from British supergroup Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP): the 1971 live masterpiece Pictures at an Exhibition and the 1972 studio gem Trilogy.

The albums, which arrive on March 13, follow MoFi's October 2025 reissue of the band's 1971 prog staple, Tarkus, and the September 2025 release of their seminal self-titled debut. Each is presented as a numbered-edition 180g 33RPM LP (limited to 3,000 copies) and a numbered-edition Hybrid SACD. Sourced from the original tapes (1/4" / 15 IPS / Dolby A analog copy to DSD 256 to analog console to lathe), the vinyl editions are pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing and housed in premium Stoughton gatefold jackets. These definitive reissues bring the visionary depth and virtuosic musicianship of Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, and Carl Palmer to the fore with spectacular dimensionality, breadth, and clarity.

Trilogy: There is a reason Greg Lake deemed Trilogy "such an accurate record" when looking back at it decades later. The trio's third studio album teems with exacting arrangements and multi-hued colors that showcase the band's willingness to experiment. Expanding by distilling the power of their debut and the epic leanings of Tarkus into a more accessible whole, Trilogy stands as the most representative example of the ensemble's trademark styles.

Mastered at MoFi's California studio, the reissue highlights the individual technique and symmetrical chemistry of the members. Sonic signposts-from the subtle shifts in Lake's voice and Carl Palmer's audible curse at the start of "The Sheriff" to the thrilling cosmic properties of the Moog synthesizers Keith Emerson employs throughout the record-emerge with involving presence and realism. The work is anchored by the Top 40 acoustic ballad "From the Beginning" and their now-iconic interpretation of Aaron Copland's "Hoedown."

Pictures at an Exhibition: Originally recorded live at Newcastle City Hall on March 26, 1971, Pictures at an Exhibition is a groundbreaking fusion of classical and prog-rock elements. Emerson, Lake & Palmer were so committed to this visionary reimagining of Modest Mussorgsky's signature suite that they paid for the production out of their own pockets, delivering a performance for the ages that became a linchpin of the Billboard Top Ten.

The MoFi reissue teems with spectacular breadth and detail, doubling as an admission ticket to one of the most celebrated crossover experiments in history. Listeners will soak in Keith Emerson's vibrating pipe organ solo, Greg Lake's tender acoustic-guitar patterns on "The Sage," and the ecstatic finale of "The Great Gates of Kiev." The set concludes with the high-energy "Nutrocker" encore-a playful rock 'n' roll take on Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker.
