There's been a fair amount of editing regarding the storyline of the Tarkus suite within this article, much of which I would say is pure speculation. I'm reverting part of the article back to a previous version that is more in line with the general view of the suite, and will find some citations to back it up. Locrian 03:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
"St. Marks church organ" gets a credit. It's used for Bach's Toccata and Fugue in F major, BWV 540 at the start of "The Only Way". But there is no indication of which St Mark's this was. One assumes it was somewhere in west London, within striking distance of Advision Studios, so the most likely one might have been St. Marks, Regents Park [1], which has a recently refurbished organ [2]. But other possibilities might be St Marks Church, Prince Albert Rd; St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church; St Mark's Church, Hamilton Terrace; St Marks Church, Kennington; St Mark's Church, SW19 or even St Marks, Kensal Rise. The blogs and prog rock message boards seem to be of no help on this one. Perhaps Mr Emerson himself can remember? Martinevans123 ( talk) 19:19, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
I missed this discussion. I saw the citation needed on "St Mark's church organ", found no citations, remembered "hey that's on the sleeve notes" and cited it. Lawd knows where my scratched to oblivion 1971 LP has gone, though. Emerson / ELP articles all need some TLC but it seems all the decent sources to improve them are offline - I could use Martyn Hanson's book on The Nice to improve that, although David O'List turns up every now and again to say "The Nice were MY band, the original audience came to see me and all the best music came from me waaaaaaaah". It was over 45 years ago, and he still hasn't quite let it go. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:34, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
This is OR so it can't be put into the article, but I am going to be looking out for a print source confirming my theory. I did some research and I am willing to bet the "church organ" was the one located at what was then St. Mark's Church, North Audley Street, London W1 in Mayfair. This church and its organ had an interesting musical history as Benjamin Britten composed three pieces for it (not to be confused with a Festival Te Deum he composed for a different St. Mark's in Swindon), Marcel Dupre had recorded pieces on its organ that were released on Decca, and it also had a choir that released records on Decca. As of 1971 it also appears to have been putting on some kind of musical events. It was closed in 1974 and is now One Mayfair, an events venue (that is closing end of this month and a developer is going to do something else with it. The closed church has a really bare bones Wiki entry at One Mayfair Church that has the info that's easy to find on the web but does not say anything about the former musical histoy of the church, or its historic organ which was a large Rushworth and Dreaper that was moved to Holy Trinity, Brompton. It would make sense to use this organ since it was fairly close to the recording studios and would have been known to those musicians familiar with 20th century classical organists or who went to any recitals there. So, while like I said none of this can be put in right now due to no source, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for some confirming source. TheBlinkster ( talk) 19:15, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Does someone have access to: Emerson, Keith; Lake, Greg; Palmer, Carl (2021), Emerson, Lake & Palmer, London: Rocket88, ISBN 978-1910978641? Possibly there would be a info? Bullenwächter ( talk) 09:08, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
