Yet another bizarre attempt by EG records to produce a cd that supposedly includes tracks from earlier vinyl/tape versions. Like King Crimson's Discipline, which had a differing version of Matte Kudasi from the vinyl release, so here again do we get versions of the original. Here they go on step further and in the League of Gentlemen section of the album, omit the "vocal track" out of the final mix of these songs
I will be pleased to get the real cd versions, which are complete and unedited, should EG ever decide to release them. At this price of £12.99, if you can get past having 3 albums on one cd, you would at least expect to have the songs in their original forms. Alas, this is not the case. Buyer beware!!!!!! This is a really disappointing release, especially for those who are looking to replace their vinyl/tape versions of hard to come by songs.

I agree with the first reviewer - if you ever heard the vinyl version, you would know and, like me, miss the vocal tracks - the female vocalist on Minor Man perfectly complemented Fripps guitar. Adding a David Byrne track does not compensate for what they took away. Very disappointing.
I will have to drag out the vinyl and get it into MP3 fashion somehow. . .

The original albums that this album arise from are God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners (1980) The League of Gentlemen (1981. See Robert Fripp's discography on Wikipedia for details. In 1985 rather than re-release these albums they were plundered and chopped about a bit for this album. It is very disappointing that it is a version of this non-album that is now available rather than the original two fine albums.
This was a period of rediscovery for Fripp,he called it the drive to 1981 or some such thing at the time. At the end of this process he had the confidence to try to establish a new band which initially was called Discipline (The Collectable King Crimson Vol.2) that became the reborn King Crimson Discipline but The League of Gentlemen was a tight little group that played small venues, was a joy to see live and was never fully captured on tape. There is a live album Thrang Thrang Cozimbulk that give a flavour of the live band but I am still waiting for the two original albums to be re-released with fingers crossed. The old vinyl is a bit worn now.
