Works Volume I

Works Volume I is a 1977 album by progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It is a two disc set divided into four major sections, one each highlighting each band member, and one for combined works.

The album represented a comeback after four years since Brain Salad Surgery. Most of the album featured a full orchestral accompaniment, and was regarded as self-indulgent by most critics, although an edited version of "Fanfare for the Common Man" (an Aaron Copland composition) was released on single and became a hit.

The follow-up, Works Volume II, was a single disc that appeared, according to many critics, to consist of leftovers and afterthoughts.
