Record Collector | Record Collector Special - King Crimson
It’s 55 years since progressive rock’s first family took shape in a basement in southwest London, launching a sonic assault like no other on the release of their jaw-dropping debut LP later that year, In The Court Of The Crimson King. Record Collector Presents… King Crimson looks back on a remarkable career that’s gone from psychedelic rock and raunchy jazz to avant-garde improv and heavily metallic thwak with new interviews from head royal Robert Fripp, plus cardinal Court members Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Mel Collins, David Cross, Pat Mastelotto, Trey Gunn and many more. Elsewhere, the doors to the Crimson Archive are unlocked, and we have Robert’s guide to Crimson’s Dorset Hotspots, an archive interview with Ian McDonald, origin notes from Peter Giles and Judy Dyble, a select UK discography and solo Frippography, plus collectors, collaborators, and 26 cut-out-and-keep cosmic Guitar Craft Oracle Cards, taken from Robert’s Aphorism series. What larks, indeed! It’s A Crimson Kcornucopia like no other.
