Reviews (7) Recorded over a period of 10 days in August 1969 and released on October 10th of the same year In the Court of the Crimson King stands as one of the defining albums of British rock music and one of the finest debut albums of all time. Described at the time as 'an uncanny masterpiece' by Pete Townshend, the album has achieved legendary status At the time, I though it was pretty heavy and dark and would actually leave the room when he played it. I saw this on clearance at Best Buy and purchased for $7.49. I have a whole new respect for King Crimson. The album is spectacular musically and it sounds great on my Project Carbon Debut Evo turntable. The albums from the 1969-72 box set - featuring the 40th anniversary Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp mixes - now available in limited editions as separate titles on 200g vinyl. Over 50 years after its release, the iconic ITCOTKC justifiably retains its all-time classic status. Some copies had an oval 'King Crimson' sticker on either their front sleeve or their shrinkwrap.

King Crimson would return in many different line-ups over the years – each different from its predecessor and, with two concerts at The Palladium in late 2018 & three shows at The Royal Albert Hall in June, 2019, the current line-up has played to more people in in London, the city in which it began, than at any point since 1969 & in the process, played more of the material from 1969 than any cWAdjnf.
