Tarkus is one of the defining albums of the progressive rock era and remains one of Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s most celebrated releases. Originally issued in 1971, the album is famous for its ambitious 20-minute title suite that occupies the entire first side, blending classical influences, jazz elements, hard rock and complex musical arrangements into a groundbreaking progressive rock work.

The iconic William Neal cover artwork featuring the armadillo-tank hybrid “Tarkus” has become one of the most recognizable images in progressive rock history. For collectors, Tarkus stands alongside In the Court of the Crimson King, Close to the Edge and Selling England by the Pound as an essential prog-rock album.
