| Larks' Tongues In Aspic Boxset |
 |
| :: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Aug 13, 2012 |
The long-awaited 40th anniversary edition of the legendary Larks’ Tongues In Aspic quintet will be released on October 15th.
One of the key recordings in the King Crimson canon, and the only formal studio recording by the LTIA quintet, the 40th Anniversary Edition will be released in three separate editions to satisfy the merely curious and the expectant collector.
1. CD/DVD-A: CD: New stereo mix + selected audio extras – all new content.
DVD-A featuring 5.1 new surround mix, original & new stereo mixes in hi-res stereo, a full album of alt mixes by Steven Wilson & more than 30 minutes of unseen footage of the band live in the studio.
2. Limited edition Boxed Set:13CDs, 1DVD-A, 1Blu-Ray in 12” box with booklet & memorabilia. DVD-A content as above, Blu-Ray content as per DVD-A with further hi-res stereo material – all presented in DTS Master audio, 4CDs of studio content including CD of session reels featuring the first recorded takes of all pieces on the album, 1CD live in the studio, 8CDs of live audio restored bootlegs & soundboard recordings + 36 page booklet with an extensive new interview with Robert Fripp, notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith, album sleeve print, concert ticket replica (with code for further concert download) & band photo postcards – limited to initial orders, one pressing only to a worldwide maximum limit of 7,000 units.
3. 2CD: Complete original & new mixes with selected audio extras.
Whilst the clip of the quintet performing LTIA pt1 during the Bremen Beat Club recording has been available on the internet for several years in varying degrees of quality, there has been some fevered speculation as to whether the full concert would ever see the light of day.
Though it's been a long time coming, the full video of David Cross, Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and Jamie Muir will now be seen in full. We hope all Crimheads agree that the waiting to get this in the best possible quality will have been worth while.
Pre-ordering details will appear soon.

Court In The Act Of Production
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sat., Feb 9, 2013
King Crimson were mentioned in dispatches during BBC 4’s documentary When Albums Ruled The World (broadcast on Friday evening). At around 28.00minutes 21CSM is played to a montage of 1969 releases (including Court itself). Later in the show Court is once again featured during a shot of a vinyl album being made in the factory. My thanks go to eagle-eyed viewer Adrian Holmes who spotted that the album in question was the Panegyric reissue of ITCOTCK. If you have access to the BBC’s iPlayer you can witness the album being pressed at 1:29minutes, just near the end of the show.

King Crimson On Great Album Showdown
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Feb 6, 2013
King Crimson's debut was one of three albums given pride of place during BBC4 Danny Baker's Great Album Showdown programme last night. After picking We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention and Joni Mitchell's The Hissing Of Summer Lawns, Baker proudly held aloft his worn copy of ITCOTCK (signed by Greg Lake) and declared "Some groups arrive fully formed and have you, well me certainly saying 'I don't know they've done that'...This extraordinary piece of music which has had to weather its critics over the years, 21st Century Schizoid Man, which is as angular a listen as you're like to hear, to the wonderful Court of the Crimson King itself, an observation by King Crimson." UK viewers can tune into the whole 60 minute show by going to the BBC iPlayer. The short segment on Crimso starts at a gnat's whisker after the 48 minute mark.

KC & Koch
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Sat., Feb 2, 2013
Following on from the news that Ed Koch, former Mayor of New York City had died, Emory, frequent visitor to the site posted this on the guestbook.
"Last night Ed Koch, former Mayor of NYC, passed on.
During the Beat
tour I saw and heard with my own eyes and ears Ed Koch introduce Crimson
at the Pier at 42nd Street say: "Rockin’ out with King Crimson!" Though
Fripp has confirmed that this was not merely a product of my feverish
young brain, I have always wondered whether Ed Koch actually stuck
around for a while to hear the Crimson creature play."
Hugh The Fierce has supplied photographic evidence of Koch's close proximity to the Crims.
