Item Description

LP Album Reissue

Single sleeve. Includes inner gatefold lyrics/credits sheet.

This version has the hidden track also present in first presses and first CD and then it was missed until reissues after the "Definitive Edition Remaster". It lasts 1:36 and begins about 1 min. after the end of 'Islands' side B. It is an excerpt from a 'Prelude: Song of the Gulls' studio session (R. Fripp talking and ensemble tuning sounds). You can hear Fripp saying: "...What we're going to do, umm... do it twice more, once with the oboe, once without it, and then... we finish."

Recorded at Command Studios, Piccadilly, London.
