Description:
The artwork reveals the true story behind the departure from King Crimson. A masterpiece that has been a staple among progressive rock fans since its release, forming a pair with *The Wake of Poseidon*, is back! A special edition featuring two artwork magnets: one of the Giles couple and one of the McDonald couple. The sole album by the duo formed by Ian McDonald and Michael Giles, who left King Crimson immediately after their first US tour in December 1969. The gentle jazz-rock sound created by McDonald—the source of the original King Crimson’s lyricism—and Giles, with his unique and distinctive drumming style, has been enjoyed to this day as a counterpart to *The Wake of Poseidon*, released the same year. The artwork, featuring the two men alongside their respective partners, eloquently speaks to their decision to leave the band, choosing love over success. Additionally, this release is a special edition of the second series of the artwork magnet package. While the magnet sheet is typically included as a single sheet, this release includes two sheets because the artwork is incomplete unless both sides are paired together. The disc is once again released as an SHM-CD.
