Re: [newmellotrongroup] King Crimson.. A treat!

Yes. I'm 'sure' as well.

The 1969 Island vinyl sounds great still. The 30th anniversary CD is slightly better.

That'll do

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.
