From The Underground Volume 2 – Deeper Into The Mine, is a second collection of rare and previously unreleased recordings dating back to 1969 and Greg Lake’s days in King Crimson. Also included are several never before-heard finished studio recordings taken from the sessions for Lake’s two Chrysalis solo albums released in the 1980s; rare live recordings from Emerson, Lake & Palmer; and unreleased tracks from two Greg Lake splinter projects, ELPowell and Greg Lake’s Ride The Tiger (which included Yes/Buggles/Asia keyboardist, Geoff Downes). Among the most rare of the recordings found on From The Underground Volume 2 – Deeper Into The Mine are several finished studio masters of outtakes from the two Lake Chrysalis solo albums. He was backed by his 1981/83 solo band featuring guitarist Gary Moore and also by the Grammy Award winning pop band, Toto. Also included is a 1971 studio-quality live recording of Lake’s most popular group, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, doing a previously unreleased song entitled “Preacher Blues.” From The Underground Vol II – Deeper Into The Mine is an official bootleg album. The extensive liner notes were written by Greg Lake, himself.
