The Complete Recordings 1981-1984

BlueRay and CD


A 3CD/1Blu-Ray set collecting all Andy Summers and Robert Fripp's 1980s collaborative work plus copious extras.

Andy and Robert
 
The original albums I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984) are included, alongside a third album Mother Hold the Candle Steady, which has been compiled from previously unreleased material (mixed and assembled by David Singleton).
 
The Blu-Ray includes all three albums mixed by David Singleton in 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround and 24/96 hi-res stereo, the original stereo mixes of I Advance Masked and Bewitched newly mastered in 24/96 hi-res stereo, and a ‘fly on the wall’ audio documentary - ‘Can We Record Tony?’ - taken from Robert Fripp’s own archive cassettes of the 2 guitarists’ original improvisations and conversations (in 24/96 hi-res).
 
Presented in a 10-panel book-sized digi-sleeve with 16-page booklet including photos, sleeve notes taken from new Sid Smith interviews with Andy Summers and Robert Fripp, and a fascinating ‘Tale of the Tapes’ page by David Singleton on how / where the previously unreleased material was recently discovered / sourced.
 
'The most exquisite moments in music are when you connect with the other players, when you fly, when you touch the spirit and the audience is there with you.’ - Andy Summers, One Train Later
