King Crimson "Live at the Marquee" 1971 CLUB46 - 2015 Collectors' Club

Arguably the greatest find in Mister Stormy’s trawl through the Crimson archives: uncovering a previously unheard set on the second night at the band’s stint at The Marquee.

King Crimson "Live in Boston, MA"1972 CLUB40 -2009 Collectors' Club

As the Yes bandwagon rolled into Boston on the last date of an extensive tour, it was King Crimson who opened up for them. When Yes took took to the stage that night and Jon Anderson announced "That was a really fine set by King Crimson wasn't it? They are a truly great band" he wasn't wrong.

King Crimson "Live in Denver "1972 CLUB35 - 2007 Collectors' Club

So here we are in Denver, Colorado March 13, 1972. Another town, another gig and yet another King Crimson line-up due to go their separate ways at the end of an American tour. Though this particular gig was chosen for the KCCC well before the loss of Boz and Ian, it somehow seems a fitting tribute to them, and in particular, their resilience as players and people. - Sid Smith.

King Crimson "Live in Brighton" 1971" CLUB30 - 2005-Collectors' Club

"This is obviously a band at its peak, enjoying one anothers playing and it shows. Mel, Robert and Ian are stretching out whilst Boz is anchoring the whole thing, steady and ultimately reliable, enabling the others to take it out as far as Pluto and back without ever getting lost. A musical lighthouse if you will saving the others from an impending train wreck."

King Crimson "Live in Orlando FL" 1972" CLUB23 - 2003-Collectors' Club

What you hear when you put on Live in Orlando, Florida is a band of four musicians who didn't think about the arrangements or how difficult these songs are to play, we just played them! We had no fear! No "Oh-crikey! We are here, how do we get back again?" Somehow it worked and I don't ever remember having to count the bars. Of course all of this is helped by gigging a lot and knowing each other inside out.

King Crimson "Live in Detroit" CLUB18 - 2001 Collectors' Club

The 18th Collectors' Club release (October, 2001). King Crimson, Live in Detroit, MI, Dec. 13, 1971.

"Our first two shows in the United States were in Detroit at the East Town Theater. This recording is the second of those shows. Of all the live concert performances of this band that I've heard so far,I think this has by far the best sound. Also, it's a sonic representation of the band at the peak of its powers, before the rot set in and the music changed." - Ian Wallace.

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "Earthbound" 1972

La primera reacción: ¿Qué coño es esto? ¿Seguro que es King Crimson? Claro, aparece Schizoid Man y Salilor’s Tale; pero no es lo mismo: a años luz de Islands, a años luz del sonido claro y pulido, de la perfección y de la experimentación bien entendida. Muy lejos del universo del grupo. Incluso la portada: negra, con sólo una letras plateadas.

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "Islands" 1971

La obra maestra de la primera etapa de King Crimson. Así de claro y así de sencillo. Tras tres discos de acertada evolución, este cuarto es el summum: todo lo que en los tres anteriores era improvisación y experimentos vanguardistas (progresivos) a medio madurar, aquí maduran acertadamente. Y por múltiples vías..............
