Product Description

King Crimson's "Starless And Bible Black," released on March 29, 1974, under Discipline Global Mobile, is a captivating journey through the realms of progressive rock, art rock, symphonic rock, and psychedelic rock. Clocking in at just over an hour and eight minutes, this album is a testament to King Crimson's innovative and experimental approach to music.

The album opens with "The Great Deceiver," setting the stage for a sonic exploration that continues with tracks like "Lament" and "We'll Let You Know." The title track, "Starless And Bible Black," showcases the band's ability to blend intricate compositions with haunting melodies. Live recordings like "Dr. Diamond" and "Guts On My Side" offer a raw and energetic contrast to the studio tracks, providing a glimpse into King Crimson's dynamic live performances.

With its complex arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics, "Starless And Bible Black" is a standout piece in King Crimson's discography. Fans of progressive rock and those seeking a deeper musical experience will find this album to be a rewarding listen.

This 2020 Limited Edition Reissue LP is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 200g vinyl.

  • Brazilian Budget Pressing

    5 out of 5 stars
    depnele_q.r24 December 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
    QWTK15 November 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.

    My one has a lyrics sheet included.

  • Wackadoodle Tittilating Album

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

  • Wilson 200g Disappointment

    5 out of 5 stars
    javitzdiof5812 March 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!
