In The Court Of The Crimson King (Remixed By Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp) (Ltd 200gm Vinyl)
Regular price $33.99 Save $-33.99Limited edition vinyl releases of titles previously available in boxed sets only. Original studio albums remixed by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp. Limited to 2000 copies per title. Pressed on 200 gram vinyl. Originally begun in 2009 by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp for King Crimson's 40th anniversary, a series of new mixes were prepared in both stereo & 5. 1 formats & issued as CD/DVD-a sets. The CD/DVD-A series also provided the catalyst for the larger scale King Crimson boxed sets as issued from 2012 onwards. The impact of both the CD/DVD-A series & the boxed sets helped to kick start a wider interest in the mainstream market for surround sound & for all-encompassing artist boxed sets which had, previously, been limited mostly to 'direct to fan' and/or specialist online sales & retailers. Consumer demand for the remixes on vinyl led to two boxed sets being issued in late 2018.

USA - 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 200gm Blue Sparkle Vinyl
Regular price $50.00 Save $-50.00On June 28th 1974, King Crimson's New Jersey concert was recorded to multi-track tape. 50 years later to the date of that recording, the full concert will be reissued, as a 3,000 copies limited edition on 200gram blue sparkle vinyl. From one of the last few concerts of King Crimson's final US tour of the '70s, "USA" was issued as an epitaph for the band in Spring 1975 as a single album, at a time when doubles or even triple live albums were considered more the norm for live releases. Deleted towards the end of the vinyl era in the mid-1980s, it remained unreleased in the CD era until the expanded edition was finally issued in October 2002. In common with much of Crimson's output, it was not well received by critics when originally released, though it's critical reputation grew immeasurably in the intervening years to the point where a review of the "21st Century Guide to King Crimson" boxed set in 2004 identified the album as the point "... where Fripp maps out the guitar blueprint for the entire post-punk movement." If that claim sounds somewhat exaggerated, a casual listen to the opening minutes of the album - where the ethereal 'Walk On..' tape of Fripp & Eno's 'No Pussyfooting' gives way to the sonic assault of 'Larks' II' - provides ample evidence to back up the claim. It's also worth noting the audience response to the band - especially at the end of 'Starless', a piece that had yet to be recorded in the studio at that point. The 1972/1974 King Crimson line-ups is now revered by critics and fans alike as one of the key bands of the era - a reputation enhanced by DGM's archival live releases from that period, starting with "The Great Deceiver" released in 1992, through to the multi-disc boxed sets of more recent years. Originally issued on vinyl in 2018 as part of the second King Crimson vinyl series boxed sets & only briefly available as a standalone set from that box, this vinyl reissue is much sought after by King Crimson fans & presents the 2013 mix of the concert by Robert Fripp, David Singleton & Tony Arnold.
