Reissue of the 1985 EP and numerous unreleased bonus tracks from this NY no wave group featuring Mark Cunningham & Lucy Hamilton (Connie Burg) of Mars, plus Arto Lindsay, Duncan Lindsay, & Toni Nogueira. "Don King began in the spring of '81, at roughly the same time as Swans (MK. 2) and Sonic Youth. As a trio, they made their debut at the White Columns Noise Fest. Described as 'purely magical' by Thurston Moore, their sound was a stark & slitherin' sort of string/drum interplay upon which a horn would swing in Ayler/root cadence. Don King remained a trio until late '83; with the addition of percussions Toni Nogueira and Arto's brother Duncan, they recorded the 5 songs that appeared on their Doublevision EP...it has a lopin' popppin' base of equatorial percussion locked in conflict with bendin', blendin' post-cool hornage." --Byron Coley.
