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...
