King Crimson COLLECTORS SET

STARTS WITH THE REALLY RARE APART OF THIS SET IS THE King Crimson Beat COLLECTORS JAPAN OBI 28MM 0180 MINT CONDITION 1982 EG RECORDS RELEASE LP – 40 YEARS OUT OF PRINT

Beat was released in June 1982 just eight months after the '80s Crimson line-up debut album Discipline. It marked the first occasion where a King Crimson line-up had remained intact for a two album stretch and was also the first album by the band to employ a separate producer Rhett Davies.

The juxtaposition of lyrics heavily influenced by '50s Beat luminaries Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, the complex polyrhythmic musical textures of the '80s Crimson, the strength of the songs, and the cohesion of the studio performances all helped the album chart upon release in the US and the UK. Songs like "Waiting Man", "Neal and Jack and Me" and "Heartbeat" became firm favorites with LP buyers and concertgoers. "Heartbeat" in particular was an FM radio regular in the US and even merited a promo film shot for the then-emerging music TV market, while one of the album's twin instrumental tracks, "Sartori In Tangier", anticipated the emerging interest in African based rhythmic styles that would become such a fascination for musicians in the latter part of the decade. As ever, Crimson was pushing forward, looking for new methods to communicate internally as a band and externally with an audience. It was, perhaps, the nearest King Crimson ever came to the rock music 'mainstream'.

Recorded over a period of 10 days in August 1969 and released on October 10th of the same year, In The Court of the Crimson King stands as one of the defining albums of British rock music and one of the finest debut albums of all time. Described at the time as "an uncanny masterpiece" by Pete Townshend, the album has achieved legendary status over the years.

Demand for King Crimson vinyl is stronger than at any time since the mid-1970s. As one of the band's most influential & best-selling albums this title has been one of the most requested titles for vinyl reissue.

Released in 1974 after King Crimson had ceased to exist, Red remains a remarkably powerful document of a group quitting at the top of its game. The grinding crunch of Red appears to anticipate much of the heavy metal scene whilst the epic Starless brings together several strands of the group's musical history.

Including powerful contributions from Ian McDonald, Mel Collins, David Cross, Mark Charig and Robin Miller, Red form what is arguably the definitive statement of the 70s period Crimson. Bill Bruford recently described the album in just five words: Prescient, short and bass heavy.

Listening to it now, I can’t believe I was ever daft enough to denounce anything this good: so much for the certainties of youth - Paul McGee, Word the one that inspired everyone from Nirvana to Tool, a heavy mutha of a record of a record, and one that was much overlooked at the time of its release.- Tommy Udo, Classic Rock presents Prog.

the King Crimson that recorded Red was ostensibly a power trio, playing a dark, compacted music of crunching intensity. - Mike Barnes, Mojo

King Crimson Larks Tongues In Aspic LIMITED EDITION 200 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LP

The original stereo mix of the 1973 classic

Newly cut from masters approved by Robert Fripp

200-gram super-heavyweight vinyl housed in a reprint of the original jacket

As one of the band's most influential and best-selling albums, this title has been one of the most requested titles for vinyl reissue. Band leader Robert Fripp's guitar met with the violent violin work of David Cross on this 1973 LP, recorded after this lineup had been touring like crazy in late '72. Wetton's melodic bass, Bruford's maniacal drums and the stellar percussion work of Jamie Muir rounded out this killer Crimson incarnation; they do both parts of the title piece; "Exiles"; "Easy Money," and the rest of the LP, all beautifully rendered.
