Description

CD/DVD-Audio Includes 5.1 Surround Mixes!
Mixed From Original Studio Masters by Steve Wilson!

Following the dissolution of the Islands line-up Robert Fripp decided to assemble a new band to perform the sort of music hed been hearing in his head over recent months. In the summer of 1972 the line-up of Fripp together with Bill Bruford (late of Yes), John Wetton, Jamie Muir and relative newcomer David Cross was announced, although it was not until September, after first full band rehearsals, that the decision was taken to call the group King Crimson.

Even by the standards of King Crimson, the line-up was short-lived, but the legacy of that band has survived and thrived for four decades. This release presents the sole studio album recorded by the quintet line-up in spectacular fashion with new mixes, surround sound & previously unseen film footage of the band.
