FYI, in case anyone cares how this song came to be..."And did those feet in ancient time" is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton a Poem, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. The date on the title page of 1804 for Milton is probably when the plates were begun, but the poem was printed c. 1808.[1] Today it is best known as the anthem "Jerusalem", with music written by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916. Then turned into this masterpiece by ELP.

Jerusalem is ELP packed into 3 minutes-- they are all phenomenal. It's my favorite drum part of any song anytime. Just a majestic piece!!!

this one is the best versions I have ever heard by greg lake singing it...too bad the sound was not that good at the time of the recording....thanks so much for posting...I can imagine what it sounds like when it has good sound...:)....This is the unofficial national anthem for England and was written as a story what if Jesus traveled to England...." and did those feet in ancient times walk upon England's mountains green"....very inspiring and thundering song usually with choir and organ....

One of ELP's coolest tunes! Greg Lake's vocals, as well as the solid bass line he lays down while singing this song are prety fuc%#@n' Amazing!!! There is so much going on during the 3 minute span of this piece... I always enjoy listening to it! ANd even playing my bass along with it. ( But Hell I wouldn't bother trying to sing along with this... T'would ruin the song)! THANKS for posting this!!! J/M.
