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 have the original 1969 pressing in my collection along with about 12 other King Crimson albums.

The founding member of this band passed a week or so ago Ian McDonald that was also a founding member of Bad Company.

I have several copies of Court of the Crimson King on LP, CD and remastered versions. Amazing sound especially considering the era and the technology available to them. My favourite era of CK is with Adrian Belew. Very different and very good.

@twoleftears Ditto on the Thanks!

@has2be Wow! I wasn't aware of this. Amazing how the vocal stands on it's own. Bravo!
