Originally released on Capitol. Includes liner notes by Chris Morris.

Digitally remastered by Larry Walsh (August 1990, Capitol Recording Studios).

Japanese edition includes two bonus tracks; original art featured on paper slipcase.

When The Band announced their retirement from touring, it was with the important addendum that they'd continue to record together. In actuality, the only album that subsequently emerged was ISLANDS, which also served to finish out the band's contract with Capitol Records. At the time of its release in 1977, it was received with some dismay by fans anxious for a repeat of the powerful NORTHERN LIGHTS SOUTHERN CROSS of two years previous. With the passing of time having removed the pressures of those expectations, ISLANDS can be heard as an album that, while fragmented, includes some fine gems. The musicianship throughout is never less than compelling. Richard Manuel's vocal on "Georgia On My Mind" is alone worth the price of admission--he sings it as if the thousand other classic versions never existed.

Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve and includes two bonus tracks. EMI. 2008.

Engineers include: Rob Fraboni, Nat Jeffreys, Neil Brody.

The Band: Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm.

Additional personnel: Larry Packard (violin); Tom Malone, Jim Gordon, John Simon (horns).

Entertainment Weekly (5/25/01, p.81) - "...A collection of loose ends...containing patches of heartbreaking melancholy..." - Rating: B

Customer Islands Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars One more sensational album
Surprised no one had bothered to review? I got into the band very late in their career. Fortunately I woke up to their wonderful sound. I now own and enjoy all their albums, however it is not the hit tunes such as 'The Weight or Cripple Creek' (they are all right) it is mainly the lesser known songs that really register with me. Have never truly understood why composer Robbie Robertson never played an active role on vocals...all his solo material is nothing short of amazing. Suppose it would have been a different sounding BAND if he had. Buy the way; love this album.
