The First Day

~ Release by David Sylvian & Robert Fripp (see all versions of this release, 5 available)

Annotation

Notes: This is the first official release together, "The First Day", is a much funkier and more percussive affair than its bootleg predecessor, "The Day Before" (which contained radically different versions of these songs). An obvious reason for its higher quality is that it was recorded in a studio, while the bootleg consisted of in-concert demos, and the songs here have been worked to completion.
