Product Description
One of the defining albums of British rock music & one of the finest debut albums of all time is available now in 200 gram vinyl format. Described at the time as "an uncanny masterpiece" by Pete Townshend, the album has achieved legendary status over the years. In the more than 40 years since its release 'In The Court of the Crimson King' has never been out of print or unavailable in any of the world's main music markets & continues to enjoy consistently high sales. It is the only studio document of an extraordinary year in the life of King Crimson.
Review
"From baroque ballads to avant-garde heavy metal, Crimson's debut sounded unlike anything else before or since... this 1969 album's manic energy and compressed imagery captures the violent downside of the hippy years...better than almost any other recording from the time..."- 4 stars out of 5 --Q Magazine
