ISLANDS (REMIXED BY STEVEN WILSON & ROBERT FRIPP)

Originally begun in 2009 by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp for King Crimson's 40th anniversary, a series of new mixes were prepared in both stereo & 5.1 formats & issued as CD/DVD-a sets. The CD/DVD-A series also provided the catalyst for the larger scale King Crimson boxed sets as issued from 2012 onwards. The impact of both the CD/DVD-A series & the boxed sets helped to kick start a wider interest in the mainstream market for surround sound & for all-encompassing artist boxed sets which had, previously, been limited mostly to 'direct to fan' and/or specialist online sales & retailers.??Consumer demand for the remixes on vinyl led to two boxed sets being issued in late 2018 covering the periods from 1969 - 74 complete with an album of alt. mixes of Larks' Tongues in Aspic, a 2LP set of rarities (using the sleeve of the original Young Person's Guide to King Crimson) & an expanded, remixed 2LP set of USA.??These titles are now being made available in limited editions & for a limited period as individual titles.
