2015 Japan Tour Box Part 2: Tokyo Show 4. 5. 6 King Crimson Japan Import Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) edition

Japan advance release and Japan-exclusive project. A limited box set containing all three Tokyo shows featured in the Second Set of the King Crimson 2015 Ten-Show Supplement Series, presented on 6 SHM-CDs. The December 10 and 17 performances deliver a thrilling hardcore side reminiscent of the Double Trio and Nuovo Metal eras, while the December 16 show offers a setlist packed with staple classics, essentially a Best of King Crimson night. Millennium King Crimson, who resumed activity in 2014, released the 10 Japan tour shows of December 2015 in three phases. The Second Set collects the three late-tour Tokyo shows (December 10, 16, 17), performed after the band returned from Osaka. This package is a limited collector box created for fans aiming to complete the entire 2015 Japan Tour series. This box contains all three cardboard sleeve CDs corresponding to the December 10, 16, and 17 Shibuya Orchard Hall concerts. For the December 10 and 17 shows, where recording data for Jakko's vocal parts was missing, mixing engineer Alex Mundy restored the tracks by patchworking selected material from other 2015 tour recordings, revealing a powerful hardcore edge as if the band revisited unresolved musical challenges from the Double Trio and Nuovo Metal periods. In contrast, the December 16 show is packed with signature classics, clearly showcasing the two contrasting faces of Millennium Crimson. First-ever CD release worldwide. Japan-only special edition. This box is a strictly limited first pressing with no further reproduction. A hard-shell clamshell box houses all three cardboard sleeve shows, and only the box edition includes three Japanese-artwork cards featuring the front graphics.
