I didn’t hear too many differences in the alternate versions of Indoor Games and Happy Family. The alternate Lady of the Dancing Water is sublime, and the Keith Tippett solo piano of Prince Rupert Awakes is also great.



I think the Islands bonus tracks are my favs. Also the 9 minute version of The Letters is fantastic, maybe better than the original.

Sorry Fripp but I have a rule not to get close to anything that can be accurately described as a 21 CD, 4 Blu-Ray, and 2 DVD box set. I thought I was weird since I always try to listen to at least a few albums from an artist before forming an opinion and sometimes if I really love them I will want to hear every proper album of theirs (sometimes more than 50 or even 100) but this along with that recent Stooges thing of yours is MADNESS I'm 100% with Sandwich on this one I mean fucking hell Fripp

“It has the title track“

Islands (the title track) is far and away my favorite King Crimson song. It’s debatably my favorite song ever

we were talking about Poseidon, although Islands is probably one of their best songs agreed
