| 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.

Stones At Hyde Park
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Apr 4, 2013
The world of rock was, er, rocked to its foundations with the news that they are playing Hyde Park once again. The original gig in 1969 was of course a tremendous boost to a fledgling King Crimson who wowed the vast crowd with the likes of 21st Century Schizoid Man which, in the words of Ed Vulliamy, "threatened to blow the Stones offstage."

Larks' Tats...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Mar 27, 2013
My thanks to Mark Ferraro for sending these pictures of his pal Vinny Carriero of East Meadow.
Mark writes "Vinny and I have been sharing and experiencing "Crimson moments"
together for decades.He had his LTIA tatoo done in 1982, possibly just
prior to seeing Crimson live at Pier 82 in NYC. When asked how he
decided to get a KC tatoo Vinny states that "I always wanted a tatoo and
the first thing that scorched my brain was the LTIA album art'".
He continued to tell me that his first visit to a tatoo parlour to watch a cousin get his resulted in himself passing out. However he was determined to wear his heart on his sleeve(no pun intended) chuckles ....for the rest of his life so he sucked it up and went right back to the parlour.
Cheers, Mark. Any more tat takes out there?
