Limited 2025 Deluxe Edition CD + Blu-ray. Presented in a replica mini-vinyl style packaging with booklet including photos and sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith CD includes the 2025 Steven Wilson album mixes and a selection of Elemental Mixes.

Lizard - King Crimson's third studio album and second recording of 1970, was, like its predecessor In the Wake of Poseidon, the product of a studio band. iI was also the first Crimson album for which Robert Fripp provided all of the music. Remarkably self-contained and sounding somewhat atypical for a King Crimson album - even by the standards of a band that rarely sounded similar from album to album, Lizard is an often overlooked and under-appreciated gem from their early years. Lizard featured a lighter, more delicate sound than the earlier albums - an approach perhaps necessitated by an extended instrumental lineup.
