“Double 200gm vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. To celebrate the 50th anniversary 2LP edition are being released this Autumn. Taking the music to new levels of clarity & power. 'Red' was one of the earliest mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson in 2009 & King Crimson was the first of a number of classic bands & artists to be mixed by Steven so it's entirely appropriate that he return, some 15 years later, to take the album into the Dolby Atmos era.

“There’s a palpable sense of energy and enthusiasm from the audience captured on the tapes at this concert as King Crimson (sharing a European tour with then label band mates Roxy Music) take to the stage in Fréjus, France, in late Summer, 1982. With two albums’ worth of material to draw upon (Discipline, Oct 1981 & Beat, June 1982) &...

Sixth 'studio' album (more than half of it is live, actually) and back in reinvigorated form with John Wetton, Bill Bruford, David Cross and bad Bob Fripp! Includes the amazingly great tune "Fracture", which is worth the admission price alone. But you also get a bunch of other great stuff too, including The Great Deceiver. So, a must own.

Throughout much of the 1970s, King Crimson were one of my very favorite bands and the short-lived band with John Wetton & Bill Bruford was their apex for me. I loved their work and I loved their improvisations, which were adventurous and interesting...

Great release of the most famous King Crimson bootleg (available as "Un Reve Sans Consequence Speciale" and also the source concert for some of the tracks that showed up on Starless and Bible Black!

TOAPP was the third and final release by the 80s King Crimson, which featured the powerful lineup of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford, all of it sympathetically remixed and expanded by Steven Wilson. This isn't one of the most essential albums in the cannon, imo, but it's a good album and this is the best version you can get of it.

"Three Of A Perfect Pair is the 12th release in the acclaimed King Crimson 40th anniversary series. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1...

For many years, this was the only live document of the magnificence of the final lineup of the 70's King Crimson. While its importance was definitely superceeded by The Great Deceiver box set, many folks have a great love for this album. So, here it is, with the great improv "Asbury Park" here, and with two bonus tracks: Fracture and Starless, and who can complain about another version of Fracture?!!

“Mind on the Run by Basil Kirchin and fellow composer/arranger John Coleman sees it’s first official reissue. The album is one of six albums that Kirchin composed for De Wolfe, and one of four that he released in 1966.
Starting his professional career at the age of 13 as a drummer in his father's big band, Kirchin would go on to go on to a storied career that saw him learn how to experiment and manipulate recorded sound and even be cited as an influential figure in ambient music.”...

"Takehisa Kosugi is an inter-media artist and performer who started his career back in the '60s in Tokyo. With his first band Group Ongaku (free anarchist-conceptual improvisations) he was introduced to the Fluxus avant-garde movement. During the '70s, he was a member of the mystical, psychedelic, droning rock band Taj Mahal Travellers. He co-founded the band in 1969. Since the end of the '70s until now, he has released several solo albums and commissioned works for events and sound installations. His...

This 1972 release came out one year after their most famous work, An Invisible World Revealed.

“Founded in 1969 Krokodil was a Swiss band that emerged in the late '60s as a blues rock band that played and recorded progressive psychedelic underground music in the style of bands like Amon Düül II. From their second album 'Swamp' they started to introduce a psychedelic sound to their music, a sound which is very much dominant on 'Invisible World Revealed.' On that album they used Mellotron, organ...
