Description:

This unique work combines live improvisations with studio recordings, and is now available in a basic catalog version on SHM-CD with Steven Wilson's stereo mix! The album "Sun and Fear" received a great deal of attention, and the band was extremely busy with tour offers. Taking advantage of the reality of not having enough time to prepare for album production, the band dared to record live, combining the best moments of improvisation that can only be created in a tense live performance, new songs recorded in the studio, and overdubs to live material. The result is a complete album. This work became the origin of Crimson's subsequent album production style. The live material was recorded at the most stable European tour in 1973, and the studio recording was done at Olympic Studios.Although it is sandwiched between the historical masterpieces "Sun and Fear" and "Red," the contrast between the tension-filled improvisation and John Wetton's vocal track is superb! This is a basic catalog version of the same master as the paper-jacket version currently on sale, but now in a placket version at a more affordable price!
