Arny's Shack

The League Of Gentlemen
Poole
1 Dec 1980

A popular track with the League and played at every show the quartet did during its short lifespan in 1980, it was always going to go on record when the group rocked up at Arny's Shack. Between the contrasting textures of Fripp’s scything lead lines and Barry Andrew’s paper-thin organ textures, Sara Lee’s propulsive bass provides the spine to the whole piece. Presented without the drum track, this special mix demonstrates the relationship between the three players in close-up detail. As good as the number is, however, this take was judged to be 'close but no cigar' and so didn't make the final cut.

The next step is Discipline

The 1980s see a very different King Crimson incarnation originally touring under the name Discipline . The presence of Adrian Belew meant that Robert Fripp was working for the first time with another guitarist. This incarnation of Fripp, Belew, Bruford and Levin becomes the first one to record successive studio albums with the same lineup.
