Deluxe 3CD/1Blu-ray set containing the two original albums - 'I Advance Masked' and 'Bewitched' - recorded by Andy Summers and Robert Fripp, plus a new mini-album, 'Mother Hold the Candle Steady' assembled from previously unreleased / recently discovered recordings.

The included original CD albums feature selected additional tracks. A bonus Blu-ray Audio Disc contain various mixes of each included album + a 'fly on the wall' audio documentary ('Can We Record Tony?') taken from Robert Fripp’s own archive cassettes of the 2 guitarists' original improvisations and conversations.

Having crossed paths briefly in the ’60s 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 King Crimson fresh from recording the now classic album ‘Discipline’ after a considerable break, Fripp was immediate in his response to Summers’s suggestion of working together. And though The Police were busy with the recording and touring of ‘Ghost in the Machine’, the two guitarists somehow managed to find time to experiment, develop and record the first of their two albums.

Whilst ‘I Advance Masked’ showcased the skill and differing guitar techniques of the two players with heavy influence of Fripp’s multi-rhythmic playing evident, their second 1984 album ‘Bewitched’ was a more melodic affair with the inclusion of additional personnel including bassist Chris Childs and Sara Lee, and as Fripp put it, “the album is a lot more Andrew than it is me”.

Almost 40 years later - during plans to reissue the original albums and searching for the original tapes - Summers came across four new tapes in a Los Angeles vault. Not only was most of the original material on those tapes, but a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, early versions, alternative versions of tracks were unearthed.
