King Crimson – Islands

Description

Here we are with King Crimson reissue LP no. 6 on DGM/Panegyric. Capturing Fripp & co at their most fiery, 1971’s ‘Islands’ features heavy use of the saxophone of Mel Collins, heralding in the group’s more dissonant era as a departure from their earlier bombast. All the reissue luxuries are present here – 200 gram vinyl, original sleeve print and an MP3 code for Fripp’s own digital copy of the album. I’m sure he won’t mind you nicking them.
