The Elements of King Crimson is a box set series by King Crimson. Originally created to promote the band's 2014 tour of the same name, it's sold exclusively through the band's merchandise booth on the tour and from the Discipline Global Mobile online stores. The first box's content was less focused on actual songs and more on song "elements"; extracts of studio recordings, alternate takes, mixes with one or two instruments isolated, live recordings and rehearsals; the tour box was the first CD release for most of the tracks included.
Some of them had already been released for digital download through the DGM Live website while some others are set to be included in future DGM releases; it also came with a 24-page booklet. The box marked the first time both studio and live recorded material with Gavin Harrison was released on CD, the first time material with Jakko Jakszyk was released under the King Crimson name, and the first time material with Bill Rieflin was released overall. Besides the version offered by DGM, the box was released, bundled with two tour badges, on Japan by WOWOW Entertainment.
For the 2015 legs of the tour, the box was revamped, featuring new artwork and a drastically different track listing; online distribution of it started on 10 September 2015.
Further versions followed in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with a further issue due in June 2019.
