From Wikipedia

Islands is the fourth studio album by English progressive rock band King Crimson, released on 3 December 1971 by Island Records in the United Kingdom, and in January 1972 by Atlantic Records in the United States and Canada. Islands is the only studio album to feature the line-up of Robert Fripp, Peter Sinfield, Mel Collins, Boz Burrell and Ian Wallace. Of these five members, only Fripp would still be in the band by the time of their next studio album, 1973's Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
