Yea, me too...  King-Crimson.jpg

 

Wrong!  Going outta the box with this half-speed mastered!    :)

 

King-Crimson-Island-1971-Half-Speed-Mast

 

Islands is the fourth studio album by English band King Crimson, released in 3 December 1971 on the record label Island.[6] Islands is the only studio album to feature the 1971–1972 touring line-up of Robert Fripp, Mel Collins, Boz Burrell and Ian Wallace. This would be the last album before an entirely new group (except for Fripp) would record the trilogy of Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red between 1973 and 1974. This is also the last album to feature the lyrics of co-founding member Peter Sinfield.

Musically, the album expands on the improvisational jazz leanings of King Crimson's previous album, Lizard. It received a mixed response from critics and fans.

Dave, is this you?

Nah, not even close.  He took advantage of every edge he could get to enhance his sound and stay outta the box.   Just rock the box and listen.

 

See the auction coming up?  Watch.  The tapes selling will blow minds if it's him with friends.  Have to see what's there.  Just bring 3x the cash and ya might get a sniff.  😂

Why do I love early Genesis so much ? 
‘I can listen to them non stop 

 

The best love song of all time !

 

Separated during the rapture, and coming back witnessed the the apocalypse and being joined back together with the all mighty one !

 

 

 

 

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off

Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes

As the sound of motorcars fades in the night time

I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right

And it's hello babe, with your guardian eyes so blue

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies

Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright

Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly

The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand

And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true?

I've been so far from here

Far from your warm arms

It's good to feel you again

It's been a long long time

Hasn't it?

I know a farmer who looks after the farm

With water clear, he cares for all his harvest

I know a fireman who looks after the fire

You, can't you see he's fooled you all

Yes, he's here again

Can't you see he's fooled you all?

Share his peace, sign the lease

He's a supersonic scientist

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man

Look, look into my mouth he cries

And all the children lost down many paths

I bet my life you'll walk inside

Hand in hand

Gland in gland

With a spoonful of miracle

He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary

We will rock you, rock you little snake

We will keep you snug and warm

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest

We walked across the fields to see the children of the West

But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors standing still below the ground

Waiting for battle

The fight's begun, they've been released

Killing foe for peace, bang, bang, bang

Bang, bang, bang

And they've given me a wonderful potion

'Cause I cannot contain my emotion

And even though I'm feeling good

Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate

The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord

Wandering in the chaos the battle has left

We climb up the mountain of human flesh

To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life

A young figure sits still by a pool

He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool

He is you

Social Security took care of this lad

We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower

A flower?

If you go down to Willow Farm

To look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies

Open your eyes, it's full of surprise

Everyone lies like the fox on the rocks

And the musical box

Oh, there's Mum and Dad, and good and bad

And everyone's happy to be here

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag

He used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag

The frog was a prince

The prince was a brick, the brick was an egg, the egg was a bird

(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)

Hadn't you heard? (they're going to change you into a human being!)

Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese

And wonderfully clean in the morning

We've got everything, we're growing everything

We've got some in, we've got some out

We've got some wild things floating about

Everyone, we're changing everyone

You name them all, we've had them here

And the real stars are still to appear

(All change!)

Feel your body melt

Mum to mud to mad to dad

Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office

You're all full of ball

Dad to dam to dumb to mum

Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing

You're all full of ball

Let me hear your lies, we're living this up to the eyes

Ooh, aah, na-na-na

Momma I want you now

And as you listen to my voice

To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause

You've been here all the time

Like it or not, like what you got

You're under the soil (the soil, the soil)

Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil!)

So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang

And all of us fit in our places

With the guards of Magog, swarming around

The Pied Piper takes his children underground

Dragons coming out of the sea

Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me

He brings down the fire from the skies

You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes

Better not compromise, it won't be easy

666 is no longer alone

He's getting out the marrow in your backbone

And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll

Gonna blow right down inside your soul

Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon

In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand-new tune

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true?

I've been so far from here, far from your loving arms

Now I'm back again

And babe, it's gonna work out fine

Can't you feel our souls ignite?

Shedding ever-changing colours

In the darkness of the fading night

Like the river joins the ocean

As the germ in a seed grows

We have finally been freed to get back home

There's an angel standing in the sun

And he's crying with a loud voice

"This is the supper of the mighty one"

Lord of Lords, King of Kings

Has returned to lead his children home

To take them to the new Jerusalem

Got a lil nippy last night in Duckburg.  Warmed things up a bit w/some Jimi.  STILL don't know where or who sent this lp that showed up on the porch.  Thanks to the postal guys it got here.  It was sent to my old address from the early 70's and they must have tossed in my man's pile.  Number 3312 of 5k.  Crazy for sure.  

 

Jimi_Hendrix_-_First_Rays_of_the_New_Ris

 

First Rays of the New Rising Sun is a compilation album[2] credited to American rock musician Jimi Hendrix, issued in April 1997 on MCA Records.[1] Featuring songs mostly intended for his planned fourth studio album, it was one of the first releases overseen by Experience Hendrix, the family company that took over management of his recording legacy. It reached the album charts in the United States, United Kingdom, and four other countries.

 

Buffalo_Springfield_-_Buffalo_Springfiel

 

 

Buffalo Springfield is the debut album by the folk rock band Buffalo Springfield, released in October 1966 on Atco Records.[nb 1] Band members Stephen Stills and Neil Young wrote all the material on the album.

Most subsequent pressings of the album from March 1967 onward replaced the track "Baby Don't Scold Me" with the standalone single "For What It's Worth", which was ascending the US charts at the time. The single eventually peaked at number 7 on the Hot 100,[8] while the album reached number 80 on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart.

 

Then I pull this one and it's Quad?  Seriously?

 

Doobie_Brothers_-_Toulouse_Street_Quad_1

 

Toulouse Street is the second studio album by American rock band the Doobie Brothers. It was released in July 1972, by Warner Bros. Records. It was the band's first album with bassist Tiran Porter and also the first with drummer Michael Hossack to augment existing drummer John Hartman, putting in place their trademark twin-drummer sound. Toulouse Street is the name of a street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The cover and inside centerfold photos were taken at a former brothel on Toulouse Street.

The album peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200.

 

Think NOLA in addition to everything else.  

 

If ya don't ya should!  :)

The drummer Neil Peart said was unparalleled: “He had everything I wanted”.
If Peart brought technicians to the mainstream, Giles was the first to show the world what a true technician actually was. Although there would always be limits on how far King Crimson could go with their progressive rock tendencies, hearing him wail on In the Court of the Crimson King is still one of the most impressive drumming feats of the late 1960s.
For Peart, Giles’s performance on that record was everything that drumming should be, telling Rhythm, “It is everything I wanted. It was both disciplined and exciting. He was so fired up by what he was doing, but it was contained within a structure. His fill construction and sense of ensemble playing and orchestrating a part was unparalleled and very underrated”.
More than anything, Peart and Giles knew the importance of their flashiness and restraint. Whereas most drummers would just play whatever wild drum fill they could think of in every song, everything seemed to be carefully calculated when Peart and Giles performed, almost like they were making musical building blocks to create the rest of the song. Drumming might come down to feel most of the time, but Peart learned from King Crimson that the record is only halfway decent until you have the beating heart keeping everything interesting.
