''Works Volume I'' is a 1977 album by progressive rock Band Emerson, Lake & Palmer . It is a two-disc set divided into four major sections, one each highlighting each band member, and one for combined works.

The album represented a comeback after four years since '' Brain Salad Surgery ''. Most of the album featured a full orchestral accompaniment, and was regarded as self-indulgent by most critics, although an edited version of " Fanfare For The Common Man " (an Aaron Copland composition) was released on single and became a hit.

The follow-up, '' Works Volume II '', was a single disc that appeared, according to many critics, to consist of leftovers and afterthoughts.
