Pictures At An Exhibition is the third album by EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, recorded live at a concert in Newcastle, UK in 1971. The album is a rock interpretation of the famous piano suite 'Pictures at an Exhibition' by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. Despite initial reluctance from their US label, the album became a hit in both the UK and US, reaching the top 3 in the UK charts and top 10 in the Billboard Hot 200. The album's success was also due to the marketing strategy of Island Records, who released the album in the UK.
