BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Greg Lake was a talented bass player and vocalist born on November 10, 1947 in Dorset, England. He gained recognition as a member of the first iteration of King Crimson and later became a founding member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. With his unique musical style and powerful vocals, Greg made significant contributions to the progressive rock genre.

Throughout his career, Greg collaborated with various artists including Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, Keith Emerson, John Wetton, Ian Anderson, Steve Howe, Tony Banks, and many others. His work with these musicians showcased his versatility and ability to create captivating music.

Despite his untimely death on December 7, 2016, Greg Lake's legacy lives on through his influential music. Fans of *King Crimson* and *Emerson*, *Lake & Palmer* continue to appreciate his immense talent and contribution to the world of progressive rock.

Greg Lake has led a spectacular musical life. His membership in King Crimson, and later, his partnership in Emerson, Lake and Palmer (with Keith Emerson, and Carl Palmer) left a memorable and lasting legacy. 

BMG release a collected set called The Anthology: A Musical Journey. Previously, a retrospective released by Castle Music back in 2006 provided a full career look at Greg Lake over 2CDs with 32 tracks. The Anthology: A Musical Journey explores the music from early periods with The Shame and with the Shy Limbs, as well as King Crimson, ELP, and his solo periods. There are live and studio versions. The booklet contains unseen photographs, essays, and notes.
