King Crimson’s most enigmatic album gets a jaw-dropping reinvention with the 2025 Elemental Mixes of Lizard, reimagined by longtime producer David Singleton.

Pressed on heavyweight 200g vinyl and cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering, this is Lizard like you’ve never heard it before—stripped down, reshuffled, and rebuilt from the studio floor up.

Originally released in 1970, Lizard blended rock with avant-garde jazz influences, boasting an expanded lineup and a sound that left even die-hard fans divided. But this new edition doesn’t just remix—it recontextualizes.

Singleton dove deep into the vast archive of studio sessions, pulling alternate takes, unused arrangements, and hidden gems to construct an entirely fresh listening experience. Every track from the original album is reworked, preserving the track order while revealing an entirely new emotional core.

Tracks like “Cirkus” and the sprawling title suite “Lizard” are reborn with fascinating twists—think new solos, different takes, and combinations of performances that were never meant to meet. It’s bold, brilliant, and occasionally bonkers in the best King Crimson way.

Whether you're a Lizard loyalist or someone who never quite warmed up to the original, this Elemental Mix is essential. It’s not just a remix—it’s a revelation. Pre-order now and get ready to reimagine a Crimson classic.
