Works Volume II is an album released in 1978 by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Unlike Works Volume I which consisted of three solo and one ensemble sides, Volume II was a single album which had the appearance of a patchwork pieced together from left-overs.

"When The Apple Blossoms Bloom..." and "Brain Salad Surgery" had been recorded at the 1973 sessions for the album Brain Salad Surgery but did not appear on it - rather strangely in the case of the latter.
An orchestral version of "I Believe In Father Christmas" was released in the UK as a Greg Lake single and became something of an annual Christmas standard, alongside such others as Slade's "Merry Xmas, Everybody" and Wizzard's "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day".
