 1993 - The Return Of The Manticore (4CD, Victory Music, USA, 383 484 004-2)

The Return of the Manticore es una retrospectiva de 4 discos sobre la carrera de la banda Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Fue lanzado en 1993 y presenta varias grabaciones nuevas de canciones lanzadas anteriormente, sobre todo una grabación de estudio de "Pictures at an Exhibition", presentada en Dolby Surround Sound. Además, la grabación en vivo de "Rondo" de Dave Brubeck aparece en el disco 2; la pista, aunque interpretada por ELP en concierto desde el inicio de la banda (como lo había sido por la banda anterior de Keith Emerson, The Nice), no se había publicado anteriormente en ningún álbum en vivo o de estudio de ELP.

El conjunto de cajas es una sección transversal bastante completa de la historia de la banda, que ofrece pistas de todos los álbumes de estudio y en vivo de ELP (en el momento del lanzamiento), así como nuevas interpretaciones de ELP de éxitos grabados previamente por bandas de las que eran miembros anteriores. para formar ELP.

El lanzamiento original del conjunto fue parte de una ola de lanzamientos remasterizados bajo el nuevo sello discográfico de la banda, Victory Music. Después de que ese sello desapareciera, el set fue relanzado en Rhino Records.
