Product Information
King Crimson - Sailors’ Tales (1970 – 1972) - Limited Edition 27 Disc Boxed Set With much of the material from In The Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard and Islands now being performed by the current King Crimson line-up (2014 - ), it is only in recent years that the wider world has begun to realise what fans have always known: this era’s recordings are as vital as any other segment of the King Crimson catalogue. Recorded between the dazzling impact of In The Court Of The Crimson in 1969 and the startling reinvention of the band in 1973’s Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, this boxed set documents a crucial period in King Crimson’s history and shows it to be brimming with innovation, experimentation, and boundary-pushing energy. With a wealth of previously unheard studio recordings from band rehearsals to full alternate mixes and a vast array of live material, much of it on CD/Blu-Ray for the first time and including four recently found, never before released concerts, this set presents the complete King Crimson recorded history of the period in the best quality audio possible.

Tales of turbulent seas...
The latest in a long line of KC Box Sets. Yes, for the average fan these are overkill however, this set in particular provides an overview of the most tumultuous era of the groups history. The common thread between all of this is Fripp and his muse. Starting with Wake of Poseidon and ending with Earthbound there is a lot of ground to cover and this set does it in depth. 27 discs worth... It's expensive but you definitely get what you pay for here...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
