''Love Beach'' is the seventh studio album by English progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1978. It was the band's final album of original material until ''Black Moon'' (1992) and was produced to satisfy contractual obligations with the group's record company. It was a critical and commercial disappointment, charting at #55 on the ''Billboard'' 200, although it did eventually go gold.〔(The RIAA's Gold entry for Love Beach )〕 Original pressings of ''Love Beach'' carried no producer's credit, but production and mixing of the album were largely carried out by Keith Emerson following contentious recording sessions in the Bahamas. According to Emerson, "everybody but me wanted to get the hell out of Nassau ... in the end I stuck the whole album together ... and sent it off to Atlantic".〔Keith Emerson, quoted by Milano, ''Contemporary Keyboard'' magazine, September 1980, p. 17.〕〔Macan, Edward (2006). ''Endless Enigma: A Musical Biography of Emerson, Lake & Palmer'', Open Court, ISBN 0-8126-9596-8, p. 418-19.〕 ==Reception== Critical appraisal of the album is negative; some reviewers consider it the nadir of ELP's 1970s output, while others refer to the continued popularity of some songs. Writing in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine at the time of the album's release, reviewer Michael Bloom said that "''Love Beach'' isn't simply bad, it's downright pathetic. Stale and full of ennui, this album makes washing the dishes seem a more creative act by comparison". Allmusic's retrospective review consisted of a single sentence: "A record that ELP released only because they owed it to their original label, and that's all one needs to know."〔 〕 | rev4 = ''Rolling Stone'' | rev4Score = (unfavorable)〔 | rev2 =''Classic Rock'' | rev2Score = | noprose = yes }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love Beach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
