  Extraordinary! March 19, 2012
Written by microbunny
Astoundingly beautiful! The guitar solo from Prince Rupert Laments solidified my lifelong appreciation of Fripp’s guitar playing. To hear this alternate take is beyond thrilling, especially with a previously unheard accompaniment is fantastic. This most definitely was deserving of a place on that 40th Anniversary version. Would also love to hear the other 2 solos too! What an incredible sound. I wish I could give it a higher rating than 5.

for some reason, i can’t recognize Starless on this one. With just the bass accompaniment, it’s hard to make out the song. I’ll have to listen to the original Starless to figure this one Read more

You can tell Fripp’s just getting warmed up on this take. It still doesn’t have the full ferocity of the final master but still sheds light on the Beast yet to Read more

This piece certainly makes my day. Lizard has always been my favourite Crimson album and I only wish Mr Fripp would be willing to issue a Lizard box with all the bits and takes that didn’t end up on the Read more

Another missing link Mon., Mar 19, 2012

This is an absolute jewel.
This solo, and the section where Jon Anderson sings over Keith Tippett’s glistening arpeggios have always been my favorite parts of the original Lizard.
It is quite surprising this didn’t make it on the 40th Anniversary Read more

Sustaining! Mon., Mar 19, 2012
Posted by: syncopatico
Concurring heartily with previous reviews! I’ve actually "always" loved Lizard (and felt the initial stereo mix and mastering was *state of the art* for 1970 (especially the drum sound!) so i haven’t quite understood all the hubbub over the new Read more

I agree with the above and add the following; this is an astounding breakthrough in guitar playing per se. The use of modes in rock was still rare, and this is one of the purest recorded examples (in this case, Read more
