Product description

The Band's 1977 release, Islands, is a masterful blend of folk rock, roots rock, southern rock, and Americana, showcasing the group's unique sound. Released on 1 January 1977 via Capitol Records, this 42-minute album is a testament to The Band's skillful storytelling and musical prowess.

Featuring remastered tracks such as 'Right As Rain', 'Street Walker', and 'Let The Night Fall', Islands presents a captivating collection of songs that transport listeners to a bygone era. The album's eclectic mix of genres is evident in tracks like 'Ain't That A Lot Of Love' and 'Christmas Must Be Tonight', which demonstrate The Band's ability to craft infectious, rootsy melodies.

The Band's interpretation of classic songs, such as 'Georgia On My Mind', is also noteworthy, with the group's distinctive sound breathing new life into this timeless standard. Additionally, the inclusion of an alternate take of 'Georgia On My Mind' offers a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process.

With its rich tapestry of sounds and themes, Islands is a compelling addition to The Band's discography, and a must-listen for fans of folk rock and Americana. The Band's Islands is an album that will resonate with anyone who appreciates thoughtful, well-crafted music, and its remastered tracks ensure that the group's legacy continues to endure.

This is a 2015 Reissue released as a LP.

  • Analogue Tone, Track Order Error

    4 out of 5 stars
    BTUINJ083October 9, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Audio quality is fantastic, boasting a rich, warm analogue tone. Packed with deep bass. Side one kicks off with Street Walker, not Right as Rain, which is actually the third track on the record. Seems like a bit of a mess-up by whoever handled the mastering, I'd say.

  • Vinyl Pressing Perfection

    5 out of 5 stars
    Hzunepuuut_BzussJuly 31, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    This is an amazing vinyl pressing. The sound dynamics are fantastic, with powerful, deep bass and crisp, clear highs for the horns. The vinyl is super quiet, with no noticeable surface noise, and it comes in a high-quality poly sleeve (I think this release is the same as the one in the larger QRP box set, which was also excellent). Unless Robbie decides to put out a 50th anniversary edition of this album in a few years, I can't see this sounding any better. The songs are fantastic too! If you can find a copy, grab it.

  • Exceptional Pressing, Grab It!

    Vzicoquoap_BtepnMay 1, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    This pressing is absolutely amazing! The sound dynamics are fantastic, featuring powerful, deep bass and delightful highs for the horns. The vinyl is incredibly quiet, housed in a top-notch poly sleeve (I think this release is identical to the one in QRP's larger box set, which was superb). Unless Robbie decides to put out a 50th version of this album in a few years, I can't picture it sounding any better than this. The tracks are fantastic too! Grab a copy if you have the chance.
