Album Details

Digitally Remastered Edition of this Great Album Where it all Began for the King Crimson Stalwarts and for a Long Time was an Expensive Out-of-print Collector's Item. Excellent Late 60s Psychedelic Pop, Sometimes Similar to the Early Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, but with a Jazzy Tinge. Fripp's Guitar is Already in Top Form and Shows the Shapes of Things to Come in '69 When He and Mike Giles Added Some Guys Named Lake and Mcdonald and Became…we all Know Who! this Welcome Remastered Reissue Comes with Bonus Tracks and Enhanced Artwork and Should Appeal to all Lovers of Eccentric Late 60s Psychedelia.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars No Fippotronicks.......2006-02-08

To anyone loking for The Cimson King you will not find him in this collection. Instead you will find R.Fripp to be more of a court jester. This cd leans more towards the jazzy silly side of progrock and thats a good thing.I thought at best this disk would be a dark and forboading peek into a tangled web of 9/8 time sigs and elaborate melodies oddly it sounds to me as if Caravan and Cream made a record. I love both those bands and this CD.I just wanted to give a friendly heads up to anyone who thinks this will be 21st century schizoid music.
