King Crimson

December 19 2015 Sunport Hall Takamatsu Japan King Crimson Japan Import Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP) edition

Japan advance release, Japan-only original project. King Crimson 2015 Complete 10 Shows Series, Part 3 Release No.3, the Takamatsu performance is released on SHM-CD in an E-style gatefold cardboard sleeve. This legendary night became the basis for the live album "Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)" released the following year, representing Millennium Crimson. Capturing the venue PA sound and the heat of the night as it was, this is truly "Radical Action Naked", available on CD for the first time. The Millennium King Crimson, which resumed activities in 2014, held a 10-show Japan tour in December 2015 during its second year of activities, and the shows are being released in three phases. Following the first release in December 2025 and the second release in February, the final third release covers the regional performances, December 12 and 13 in Osaka, December 19 in Takamatsu, and the final show on December 21 in Nagoya, issued on CD as a Japan-only original project. This title contains the ninth show, the December 19 Takamatsu performance that became legendary as the core performance for the live album "Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)". According to DGM producer David Singleton, the main reason this Takamatsu show became the core performance for "Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)" was that both the performance quality and the video quality were fully realized. While the CD portion of "Radical Action (To Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind)" removed audience applause, this recording includes the audience reaction as well as the actual sound heard in the venue on the day, making it a rare recording that could be called "Shin Radical Action" or "Radical Action Naked". After the Osaka 2days and the additional 2days Tokyo shows upon returning to Tokyo, Millennium Crimson had clearly reached the highest level of performance quality of 2015, and this best performance that condensed and completed all of it reappears here in its true form. First time on CD worldwide. A special edition prepared by the band exclusively for fans in Japan. SHM-CD 2-disc set in an E-style cardboard sleeve. The master tape uses the data digitally recorded on the day and mixed by Alex Mundy.
