...singing along there Track 3 in the court of the crimson king (abridged) (7:21) In the court of the crimson king starts gently, thoughtful. Long notes and fairly bright wondrous tones of music. “ The yellow jester does not play But pulls the strings in the court of the crimson king ahhhhhhhhhhhhhah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhh ahhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh sorry singing again.

Advantages: Completley Defines The Genre Of Prog Rock
Disadvantages: The Density of Sound Can Be Unappealing

...It is becoming quite the done thing for old progressive rock bands to re-master their back catalog for CD. I wholeheartedly approve of this kind of shenanigans especially when you get one of the classics of the genre like this one with a fantastic booklet, which features all the original artwork and extra press clippings and photos.

Advantages: good listening
Disadvantages: none

...King Crimson were one of my favourite groups in my youth. First performing in 1968 First record in 1969 was In the court of the crimson king. The Album red was produced in 1974 when I was 20. It was released in cd form in 2000. This album was the end of King Crimson, as I had known it as while it was been made David Cross walks away from the band, the end of an era. King Crimson was reborn in the 80’s and continued to produce albums and perform but it was never the same. King Crimson members on the album Red were Robert Frip guitar and mellaton Bill Bruford, Percussives, John Wetton Bass and voice. Also playing was David Cross on violin (before he left), Mel Collins, soprano sax, Ian Mc Donald Alto Sax, Robin Miller oboe, and Marc Charig cornet. The album cover has their portraits on it. This album yeah its really heavy man... Read review
