correct, the original The League of Gentlemen LP is not included in this, for some reason. I read some explanation somewhere but it was weaksauce. There was plenty of room for it.

Maybe the League of Gentlemen LP is going to get its own 25 disc boxed set.

For whatever reason Dripp does t find those “indiscreet” tracks (which are assemblages off people talking) Important. They ARE funny.

It wasn’t just Hall. I believe Debbie Harry was on Heartthrobs – perhaps doing I Feel Love? Fripp also supposedly shot the album cover at Radio City Music Hall of him with the Rockettes. Notwithstanding the cost, I’m definitely franxious for this release.

I believe the new box set marks the first CD release of God Save the Queen / Under Heavy Manners. When I was in high school around 2004/05 and first getting into Fripp/Crimson, I went over to the house of a friend whose cool dad had a great record collection. He played us that record, which I had no idea existed, and the "Discotronics" side kind of blew my mind. More jerky new wave than disco and definitely proto-Discipline-era Crimson, complete with an extra-yelpy David Byrne on "Under Heavy Manners." So I'm rerally looking forward to the extended Discotronics sessions on this box...
