CD/BluRay - King Crimson - Islands

CD + BluRay - UK Import

King Crimson's fourth album, 1971's "Islands", was, for many years, somewhat underappreciated in Crimson history; regarded simply as one of those albums between undisputed classics "In The Court Of The Crimson King" and "Larks' Tongues In Aspic".

In more recent times, the album has been reassessed, a process that began with the 2010 new stereo and 5.1 mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp and continued with the inclusions of ‘The Letters’ and ‘Sailor's Tale’ and the title track in the 2014-2021 line-up's live sets.

This collection includes the complete recording sessions of "Islands" on a CD/Blu-ray edition.

The Blu-ray features all new mixes of the album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA 24/96 Surround and 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo by Steven Wilson as well as ll new "Elemental Mixes" of the entire album in 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo by David Singleton.

The Blu-ray also features the 30th anniversary remaster in 24/96 plus the complete recording sessions from September 1971 in 24/96 and Live at Summit Studios from March 1972 in Quadraphonic Sound.
