Lizard - 2025 David Singleton Elemental Mixes (Uk) [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Limited 200gm vinyl LP pressing. One of the highlights of the King Crimson 50th anniversary CD/Blu-ray editions to date has been King Crimson producer David Singleton's series of Elemental Mixes as he utilises the full spectrum of available studio sessions for each album to produce very different takes on the familiar songs and pieces. This is especially true of Lizard where the ambition of the material, the much-expanded line-up of musicians - the background of many of them in the jazz rather than the rock world - and the number of takes recorded, resulted in a large amount of material to be considered for this album. There was enough material for David to be able to mix and produce alternate takes for every piece from the original album. As well as giving great insight into the recordings, the nature of Elemental Mixes allows for different takes from individual musicians to be included - sometimes alongside one another - in a way that would never be considered in the formulation of the original album.
