The Complete Recording Sessions on CD & Blu-Ray Audio!

Steven Wilson returns to produce a 2025 Dolby Atmos Mix* of King Crimson's second album plus single B-side "Groon," a new 5.1 Surround Mix* and a new stereo album mix*, while David Singleton contributes Elemental Mixes of four of the album's key tracks.

The Blu-Ray contains all of this material on a single disc with the 5.1 Surround Material presented in DTS-HD-MA and the stereo tracks in Hi-Res Stereo. Joining the new mixes are the complete stereo recording sessions from the entire album, as produced by Alex R. Mundy and the disc is completed with a Hi-Res Stereo presentation of the 30th anniversary edition of the original album mix*.

The CD features Steven Wilson's 2025 Stereo Mixes, the Elemental Mixes and the alternate version of "Devil's Triangle" originally assembled for the, now unavailable, Sailors' Tales boxed set.

This is the most complete edition of In the Wake of Poseidon ever assembled. When In the Wake of Poseidon was first issued in 1970, Melody Maker ran the unforgettable headline: "If Wagner were alive he'd work with King Crimson." Stranger still, this was just two months after King Crimson had issued a single "Cat Food" and appeared on Britain's Top of the Pops miming – as all bands did in those days on the TV show – to a pre-recorded playback of the song.

Strangest of all was, how could a single and an album have even been recorded, when the band had split up in December 1969 following their debut US tour and release of their acclaimed In the Court of the Crimson King mere weeks before that? The answer, not for the first or last time in the band's lengthy career, was Robert Fripp's determination to keep the band going – whatever it took. In the case of Poseidon this involved hiring leaving KC members Michael Giles and Greg Lake and former Giles, Giles & Fripp member Peter Giles as guest musician and bringing in players who would all feature on future KC albums: Keith Tippett, Mel Collins and Gordon Haskell. The result was an album that claimed the band's highest ever UK chart position (No. 4) and consolidated its position as one of the most original and experimental groups to emerge from the Underground Scene.

For an album that shouldn't have been recorded by a band that didn't exist, In the Wake of Poseidon continues to intrigue and delight King Crimson fans.
