King Crimson

December 10 2015 Bunkamura Orchard Hall Tokyo King Crimson Japan Import Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) edition

Japan advance release and Japan-exclusive project. 'King Crimson 2015 Ten-Show Supplement Series' Second Set, Part 1. The fourth-night Tokyo Bunkamura Orchard Hall concert is released on SHM-CD in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. A painstakingly restored performance in which Alex Mundy overcame an unexpected recording problem. Millennium King Crimson, who resumed activity in 2014, released all ten shows of their December 2015 Japan Tour in three phases. Following the first set released in December, the Second Set is Tokyo Part 2, covering the December 10, 16, and 17 Shibuya Orchard Hall shows. This title contains the fourth show, the December 10 performance. Among the ten shows of the 2015 Japan Tour, only this date suffered a recording problem: the data for Jakko's lead vocal track was missing. Because all other data was intact, Alex Mundy, who handled the 2025 mix, selected Jakko's vocal parts from other 2015 tour recordings that could be matched to this performance and carried out detailed patchwork using the master data approved by the band. As the fourth consecutive show since opening night, this concert, alongside the December 17 Tokyo finale after the band's return from Osaka, features a first set where aggressive hardcore Crimson can be fully enjoyed. The performance not only offers fresh reinterpretations of classic tracks but also shows a determined approach to unfinished musical tasks from the Double Trio era, clearly asserting the raison d'etre of Millennium Crimson. First-ever CD release worldwide. A special Japan-only edition prepared by the band exclusively for Japanese fans. A 2xSHM-CD set in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. The master uses the digital recording made on the night, mixed by Alex Mundy.
