Here’s the LoG in the rehearsal trying out a track that never made it onto an official release. It’s en especially savage retake of the main riff from Disengage (a toe-tapping crowd pleaser from Fripp’s Exposure album).

Only here it’s slowed down and extremely nasty. Oh, and if that’s not enough to flabber your gast, we get a version of the descending chord sequence from Neurotica thrown in for good measure. We know from the snippets released from Exposure rehearsals that Fripp, Wetton and Collins had tossed this about a couple of years prior to LoG.

However, here the riff is reborn and tooled up with attitude. It would take another year or so before it would finally find its true home. Pop the corks and raise a glass to this little beauty.

This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his second year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.

i thought this was cool
i feel the same as the last reviewer about  the league finding its own sound  .however i feel this is  is a cool  yet crude version.    i kind of like it actually , is some what jammy instead of    too proggy

The road rightly not taken
I am delighted to have heard this - once. 5 stars for sharing it, but 2 stars (maybe 1) after that - rehearing it isn’t necessary. The League found their own repertoire, which I really enjoy, and this (Disengage) did not belong in it.

Cor blimey Mr Stormy, that’s just knocked me clean off my chair. An outstanding little work-out that kicks ass. Highly recommended listening. Many thanks for this and also all the other gems.

Sweet!
Amazing what this group could do just throwing stuff around.  Way preferable over the blah-ness that passes for radio pap these days.  As I said in my review of "...Goodies...", if only these bits had made it to record, who knows what might have happened (well, I guess LoG knows)?  Another fab find, Mr. Stormy!
