  • Brazilian Budget Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    depnele_q.rDecember 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Just another case of a brazilian budget pressing. The cover's basic and flimsy, no gatefold or even a little insert. At least the mastering's decent.

  • UK Editions Shine Bright

    5 out of 5 stars
    QWTKNovember 15, 2025United States🇺🇸

    You can't go wrong with either of the UK editions. I own the 1974 EMI copy, but with tracks this magnificent and stunning, audio quality takes a backseat... I've yet to come across a live rendition of Starless that's subpar...even when they're slightly off, and that applies to both versions of the song. I typically gather original US pressings, but with ATLANTIC acts, Led Zeppelin and these guys, they're quite alike if both US and UK versions are available, which isn't always the case.

    this is a super duper wackadoodle tittilating album if ya catch my drift.

  • Wilson 200g Disappointment

    5 out of 5 stars
    javitzdiof58March 12, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Crackle, hiss, scratch. I'm truly disappointed. I had high hopes for this Wilson 200g pressing, expecting it to bring me immense joy. But, as we all know, this record has plenty of quiet moments, and I certainly don't want it to sound worse than my original copy, which I've had since '74 and has been my faithful companion throughout my record collecting journey. Honestly, I'd rather spin my OG because I can't fully appreciate the Fripp/Wilson remaster due to the damn surface noise being so bloody distracting. And yes, my tracking force is spot on (Technics SL3300 from '78), my anti-skate is perfectly set (Ortofon Blue), and I listen to vinyl all day, including classical records with lots of silence. I know my turntable setup like the back of my hand. Grrr!

About King Crimson

King Crimson, the iconic English progressive rock band, has left an indelible mark on the music world since their formation in London in 1968. Founded by Robert Fripp, who remained the sole constant member, the band's lineup has evolved over the decades, but their innovative spirit has never wavered. Drawing from a vast array of musical influences, including classical, jazz, folk, and experimental genres, King Crimson has crafted a unique sound that defies easy categorization. Their music is a journey through sonic landscapes, from the psychedelic and jazzy textures of their early years to the heavy, metallic sounds and avant-garde improvisations of later albums. With a career spanning over five decades, King Crimson has influenced countless artists and continues to inspire new generations with their uncompromising musical vision. Their extensive discography is a testament to their enduring legacy and their ability to push the boundaries of progressive rock.
