Primarily composed of previously unreleased songs from the Band's career (including their 1976 cover of "Georgia on My Mind", which was recorded to aid Jimmy Carter in his presidential bid),[6] Islands was released to fulfill the group's contract with Capitol Records, so that the soundtrack to their film The Last Waltz could be released on Warner Bros. Records.[5] In the CD liner notes, Robbie Robertson compares the album to the Who's Odds & Sods.

John Bauldie in Q magazine called the album "a ragbag of old outtakes and otherwise unplaceable new numbers".[5]

[de] Islands (The-Band-Album)

Islands ist das siebte Studioalbum der kanadischen Folk- und Country-Rock-Gruppe The Band. Es erschien am 15. März 1977 auf dem Label Capitol Records. Islands war das letzte Studioalbum, das die Band in ihrer ursprünglichen Besetzung einspielte. Tatsächlich hatte die Gruppe bereits am Thanksgiving 1976 ihr legendäres Abschiedskonzert The Last Waltz gegeben, das nun auf Warner Bros. Records veröffentlicht werden sollte, und nahm das Album nur auf, um ihren auf insgesamt zehn Alben hinauslaufenden Vertrag mit Capitol zu erfüllen. Nach der Veröffentlichung von Islands löste sich die Band auf.

[es] Islands (álbum de The Band)

Islands es el octavo álbum de estudio de la banda norteamericana de rock The Band. Publicado por Capitol Records en marzo de 1977, supone el último trabajo de estudio de la formación clásica del grupo, integrada por Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel y Garth Hudson. Seis años más tarde, los integrantes del grupo a excepción de Robertson reformaron The Band y volvieron a salir con frecuencia de gira en la década de 1990 y a grabar nuevos trabajos como Jericho (1993), High on the Hog (1996) y Jubilation (1998), hasta la muerte de Danko en 1999 y la disolución definitiva del grupo.
