Not a review per se, more of a comment. This appears to be the only edition of ''Islands'' with the cover picture (of the nebula) upside down; since the typography is right-side-up, this is not an uploader's mistake (which I saw in another edition: https://www.discogs.com/release/5762568-King-Crimson-Islands).referencing Islands (LP, Album, Stereo) ILPS 9175
Looking for the insert only. Please let me know by PM if you have one. Thanks- My copy of this--as with the other two of the Steve Wilson mixes I've picked up (In the Court..., and Lark's Tongues..)--has a pressing defect/whooshing along ALL tracks on both sides, mostly audible in the quiet parts. These must have been seconds or defects sent, sealed, to Half Price Books, where they were bought sealed. I recommend steering away from that chain for these.

In reference to a variant, 112360-I1-9276-2-M with a moulded 9. Superior sounding edition needs no replacement.- In reference to variant 11. With the HDCD engaged(no off option on playback enabled equipment) the sound is gimmicky, like early surround, but when not engaged is lacking in range, surprise surprise.

Wonderful audio on this 1st press . The great dynamics brings this album alive . Makes me love this album even more . Sound quality of a pressing makes a big difference . - Edited 10 months agoThis release has excellent sound quality. George Piros cut is excellent here as usual. It’s a very quiet album so clean copies tend to be very enjoyable.
- The inner sleeves of my edition are not black, but contain advertisements for other CDs and vinyl records. The sticker and matrix number are identical. Bought in March 2024
