about

The short-lived 3 was formed in 1987 and its lineup included keyboardist Keith Emerson, drummer Carl Palmer, and singer/multi-instrumentalist Robert Berry. Emerson and Palmer had previously been members of Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), the ground-breaking rock trio who earned nine RIAA-certified gold record albums in the U.S. and have sold an estimated 48 million records worldwide. After one album, To the Power of Three (Geffen Records, 1988), 3 split up. A pair of live albums were released on CD many years later — Live Boston ‘88 (2015) and Rockin’ the Ritz: NYC 1988 (2017) — both on Liberation Hall subsidiary label RockBeat Records.

Rockin’ the Ritz: Live 1988 now makes its vinyl debut, once again on RockBeat Records. Due to the time limitations of the LP format, two selections (“Lover to Lover” and “Runaway”) have been trimmed from the tracklist of the still-available CD and digital album. Palmer and Berry have each contributed remembrances to the jacket artwork. Emerson passed in 2016.

“I am happy these rare 3 recordings have finally seen the light of day,” said Palmer in 2017. “This group was a transition for Keith and myself that eventually got us back to Emerson, Lake & Palmer. We had formed 3 with Robert Berry, at the suggestion of Geffen Records, and I think we made some pretty innovative music. This live concert proves the energy behind our music was very much alive and it still sounds relevant today. Some might say this was a left turn in our musical journey, but, in the end, the scenery was still enjoyable.”
