UK's Danger Money is more the sort of sound I feel that ELP should have had in the late 70s than Love Beach.
I guess there's a question over whether this album would be quite so disliked without that cover and title? I think it would. The first few songs just aren't good. I don't really think there's anything on it that I would call great.
ELPowell had a better US chart placing than the last few 70s ELP albums did (and deservedly so). But it wasn't by any means a blockbuster- and the 90s reunion albums did far worse commercially. ELPowell is IMHO easily the best ELP-related album after Works Volume 1, and I only really play the group tracks on the latter.
