1LP – UK Import

200 gram audiophile vinyl of Andy Summers and Robert Fripp’s 1982 album, “I Advance Masked”, newly mixed by David Singleton in 2024. Includes 2 previously unreleased tracks Skyline and Entropy Pulse. Having crossed paths briefly in the 1960s in Bournemouth where Fripp took over Andy’s guitar chair in the band at Bournemouth’s Majestic Hotel, it wasn’t until 1981 – when Summers wrote to Fripp – that the two guitarists would work together.

With a very different sounding 1980s King Crimson lineup on tour and The Police’s status as one of the biggest acts in the world, it’s unsurprising that an album of guitar duets from Summers/Fripp – despite being as far apart from the concept of “guitar hero” playing as possible to imagine, proved intriguing enough to spend several weeks in the US Billboard 200 charts.
