Hey, I like Pirates too,great song. And I just got Pictures at an Exhibition on CD. I've had the LP for years. Mine hasn't got the insert you mention.
Pictures at an Ex I think was there first live performance. So probably the first time Synths were used in concert.(could be wrong). Gound breaking work none the less.
I remember seeing years ago on tv a show about their concert 'Show that Never Ends). Carl Palmer was actually taking drum lessons on the kettle drum. Who would have thought? The show ends with Keith Emerson standing his organ on end and dropping it.
Sure would like to see this program again.
I also saw a clip of them recording Fanfare for the Common Man in the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. They recorded this in cold weather so they could get a crisp sound. Don't know if the entire album was done this way.
I was a fan in high school, and a friend laughed at me for liking their music. Anyways these guys were way ahead of their time.

I actually expressed that wrong..I actually love the LP, but I meant no big deal rarity wise...

Its great stuff
