Beat was the second release by the 80s King Crimson, which featured the powerful lineup of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford, all of it sympathetically remixed and expanded by Steven Wilson. This isn't one of the most essential albums in the cannon, imo, but it's a good album and this is the best version you can get of it.

"Beat is the 11th release in the acclaimed King Crimson 40th anniversary series. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original..

“CIRKUS - originally issued in 1999 as a 30th anniversary celebration of the group's live output 0 offers an effective introduction to Crimson as a touring outfit. From the Fillmore West in San Francisco in 1969, via the Concertbouw Amsterdam in 1973, to the Spectrum Montreal in 1984. And on to Nakano Sun Plaza Tokyo in 1995, all eras of Crimson are represented and a variety of the band's most enduring music is featured. Crimson live has always been a very different beast in the concert hall compared to...

2004-issue, 24 bit HDCD remastered edition of the band's 80's comeback album (the drive to '84) with the bonus track of an alternative version of Matte Kundasai. [DGM]

(In)famous, bootleg-quality, originally import-only live CD by the 'Islands' version of King Crimson, recorded live in the USA, just before the band collapsed in February and March, 1972.

Note: This is my personal opinion: Not even Robert Fripp can polish the sonic turd that is Earthbound and make it sound 'good'. Still, the Summit Studios stuff is quite good quality and there are bonus tracks which are better than most of what was originally on the album.

"The thirteenth release in the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series.
Earthbound was originally issued in 1972 and marked the final statement by the band's Islands-era incarnation.

1969 BBC recordings and recordings from the group's 1969 USA tour. Quality is variable, but more than half of it excellent for long lost, non professional recordings and it's all pretty fascinating.

"This 3 CD set draws together a collection of studio and live recordings of King Crimson as a double duo. It consists of three releases which were previously available individually, including Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With (2002 original y release date), Level Five (2001 original release date) and EleKtriK (2003 original release date)."

“After being out of print for many years, Heavy ConstruKciton is back, packaged in a striking eco-wallet, and containing 3 discs of music - culled from various European concerts in 2000 with 2CDs of concert highlights joined by a third disc of improvs from that tour.”

"King Crimson performed 'Heroes' at the Admiralspalast in Berlin as a celebration, a remembrancing and an homage. The concert was thirty-nine years and one month after the original sessions at the Hansa Tonstudio overlooking the Berlin Wall. This is released in the 40th Anniversary Year." - Robert Fripp.
The title track sees Robert Fripp reprise the unforgettable guitar role he created for the original David Bowie studio recording in the same city in 1977, particularly poignant in the year of...

Fifth studio album and back in reinvigorated form with John Wetton, Bill Bruford, David Cross, Jamie Muir and bad Bob ripping out some amazing guitarwork!

"Larks' is the first of a studio trilogy that encompassed 'Starless and Bible Black' and 'Red' - a body of work that still sounds remarkable some 30 years later."

Yes, it's overkill, but it's kind of magnificent overkill, as it includes every recording there is by this band and much more. Read below to see what is included in this insanely deluxe set. The live performance DVD is beyond revelatory, as is the Session Reels and Alternate Takes discs. Now out of print and no more are to be made.

One of the very best of the recordings of the pre-Bruford version of King Crimson to emerge from the King Crimson Collector's Club was this full set from the 'Islands' line up of the band & it beats the total crap out of Earthbound!...

"I was floored when I heard this album, Live in Guildford 1972. The sound quality here is flat---there is little depth and no dynamic other than one instrument blocking out another on occasion, but the 25 minute improvisation on this record entitled "All that Glitters is Not Nail Polish" is powerful, memorable, formidable, exhilarating, menacing, and inspiring. The version of Larks Tongues in Aspic Part I is good, and the other tunes aren't all there, but with this recording I finally found what I'd...

All the below is nice to read, but here’s what you need to know: This previously lost soundboard cassette recording, which only emerged in late 2017, is the single best sounding live example of Jamie Muir’s short tenure with the band!

“It’s remarkable, from this distance in time, to imagine that a band with four chart albums (and an official live bootleg) in its history and the reputation such entailed, could embark on a UK tour, with a completely new line-up featuring just a...

This is a great sounding live release taken from a single night in the middle of the band's tour in November, 2015 from the surprising band reunion that gets nothing but very high marks from everyone who has seen it (they haven't come to my neck of the woods yet, so I am sadly not one of them!) and it's always nice to see new music from a seemingly fully engaged Robert Fripp and company! And it's a genuinely LIVE, live album!

Great deal on two full length concert recordings from one of the best English bands of the progressive rock era. This is filled with interesting improvisations and hot playing. Listening over 40 years later I can still relate to the reasons that made this band one of my huge favorites at the time.

Originally available only at concert venues on King Crimson's sold out European 2016 tour. Much sought after by fans, hence more widespread release.
