Description: New CD KING CRIMSON -ISLANDS- WITH BONUS TRACKS from Japan Description Description [SHM-CD] The final album of the first Crimson period, where songs with mayfly-like beauty, stormy jazz rock, and twisted pop worlds intertwine. A basic catalog version in SHM-CD format using the Steven Wilson Stereo Mix! ●The only member remaining from the previous album was Mel Collins, with Ian Wallace on drums and Boz Burrell, who had joined the band on vocals, taking over as bassist.This was the final album by the first Crimson band, which had restarted with the band. ●Although this album was produced in an uneasy mood with the feud between Fripp and Pete Sinfield also becoming apparent, it contains memorable songs such as "Islands," the ultimate ballad that polishes the hard-edged beauty presented on the previous album "Lizard," "A Sailor's Tale," which features the bold jazz-rock that is reminiscent of Crimson since "Terrifying," "Letters," a terrifying psychological drama that unfolds in an uneasy mood, and "Ladies of the Lord," a unique and twisted pop song that is unique even among their early songs. ●This album was compiled by touring for the first time since the original Crimson, and the style is very different from their previous album which was constructed in the studio. It is a work that stands out among all of Crimson's studio works as it has a unique personality. ●After the album was released, Fripp announced the band's disbandment during rehearsals for the band's second North American tour, but was persuaded by management to continue the tour from February to April 1972 in order to complete the scheduled dates, and the live album Earthbound was produced. ●A basic catalog with the same master content as the currently available paper jacket version in a plastic case at a more affordable price! ■ SHM-CD ■New commentary included ■Original 1971 Media reviews and more The final album by the first Crimson, which restarted with only Mel Collins remaining from the previous album, Ian Wallace on drums, and Boz Burrell on bass, who had joined as a vocalist, on the album.
