Released towards the end of the year. Is what I'm sure will be the definitive release of In the Court of the Crimson King.
 
Includes a new 5.1 mix taken from the original session tapes!  I think this set will be awesome, as going back to those original session tapes mean that the mix will effectively be sourced from more than the original 8 tracks would have allowed, with far fewer track bounces, and therefore less tape hiss and distortion.
I just hope they don't compress the S∗∗t out of the final mix as seems to be the norm nowadays, sadly.
Loads of extra goodies too!
Very excited.

"Red" and "Lizard" 5.1 also on the way.
