King Crimson


The only knowledge I had of King Crimson was my first LP bought self titled Bad Company, and reading the bass player Boz came from Crimson. Fast forwarded 50 years and I am now hearing for the first time "in the court of the Crimson King". I know I wouldn't have liked what I love today, when I was 13. Amazing players and composers! Court is not dismissed, please remain seated.

I loved KC from the first album through all of the ones with John Wetton and Bill Bruford, and fell by the wayside after that. 

When I was in college in 1969, some art students painted the inside elevator doors in our dorm building, with half of the cover of 'Court of the Crimson King' on each elevator door, so that once you were in the elevator and the doors shut, you were presented with a wonderfully painted cover of that album! Alarmed a few students under the influence of various psychedelics who saw it for the first time, but there ya go.

Steven Wilson remixes are excellent. 

@middlemass - I like most re-masters by 'famous producers' I've heard, like Giles Martin's Beatles releases, but you are right - Steven Wilson is a different thing altogether, probably because he is also so busy creating, releasing, and touring his own music in his various different projects. I've got that Roxy box set as well - great stuff!!
