GORDON HASKELL IT IS AND IT ISN'T Limited Numbered Green 180gram Audiophile Vinyl LP

Overview:

Gordon Haskell gained recognition as bass player for the Fleur de Lys in 1966, and subsequently spent a short period in King Crimson at the time of the recordings of In The Wake Of Poseidon. He released his second solo album It Is And It Isn't in 1971, which features King Crimson-bassist John Wetton.

The album has guest appearances from various top session musicians (Dave Spinoza, Alan Barry & Bill Atkinson a.o.) and it was produced by Arif Mardin, who, at the time, was moving into some much more profitable and visible projects with the Bee Gees that went in a completely different direction.

On this album, Mardin melts Haskell's pop-progressive sound with the clean, sharp mixes that King Crimson of that era were known for.

It Is And It Isn't is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on green coloured vinyl.
