King Crimson "Jazz Club Chesterfield" England September 7, 1969 (2010)

When King Crimson appeared in Chesterfield, the recording of their album had been completed though some post-production work was still being undertaken. The album however was still a month away from being released. So outside of a couple of appearances on BBC Radio 1, and word of mouth, the audience would have had little idea of what to expect at Crimson concert.

King Crimson "Live at Fillmore East" 1969" CLUB25 - 2004-Collectors' Club

The Fillmore East concerts in New York 1969 were an important landmark for King Crimson. The band had, in the space of only nine months, risen from obscurity to international recognition, and the American tour was a crucial part of this process. The two nights are enjoyably different, including the recovery from "dropped stitches". The band is in consistently good form,especially on A Man A City and Schizoid Man, which are taken at blistering speed, and in my opinion, the best way, because if the fast sections are too comfortable the half speed sections become relatively ponderous. So I'm pleased to have found this Fillmore East tape, and hope that it is as valuable to the collector as it is to me. Michael Giles

King Crimson "Live in Hyde Park" 1969" CLUB12 - 2000-Collectors' Club

The 12th Collectors' Club release (Originally scheduled for August, 2000). From the legenday free concert headlined by the Rolling Stones, in Hyde Park, London in 1969. "It would sound blasé to say that this was just another gig for us, though in a sense it was; we were having a great time discovering and enjoying our music, but we were also experienced enough individually not to be too greatly affected by any particular venue.

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "In the Court of the Crimson King" 1969


Siempre será imposible saber cómo hubiéramos respondido ante este disco cuando se publicó originariamente en 1969: qué hubiéramos pensado al encontrar esta portada en la tienda, oír por primera vez el disco entero (Schizoid Man y después todo lo demás...), compararlo con lo que se publicaba entonces... Imposible. Por ello, nuestras reacciones ante este disco nunca podrán ser “originales”. Lástima. -No descubrimos King Crimson por Schizoid Man, ni por esta canción en estaversión original, y siempre nos agradaron más otras canciones que éstas. Otra vez: lástima.

Giles & Giles and Fripp "The Brondesbury Tapes " (1968)

Originally formed as a trio (Robert Fripp on guitar, Michael Giles on drums and vocals, and Peter Giles on bass and vocals) in Bournemouth, UK, in September 1967. Around June 1968, they were joined by Judy Dyble on vocals (only for about a month), and Ian McDonald on sax, keyboards and vocals. As a quintet they made several home recordings, including the later much-appraised “I Talk To The Wind”. In their time, Giles Giles and Fripp managed to release one full album and two singles, which didn’t sell well yet were considered quite interesting by the then music press. Between November 1968 and January 1969, the remaining members (omitting Peter Giles) were joined by Greg Lake, and later by roadie Peter Sinfield, and changed their name to King Crimson.

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "Red" 1974



Cómo conseguir el beneplácito de todo el mundo. Quizás. Hasta la fecha siempre se había dicho que King Crimson no había hecho ni un solo disco enteramente satisfactorio. Éste quizás tampoco lo es............. La portada: o por qué King Crimson era considerado un grupo intelectualizado en Europa mientras que en Estados Unidos era sinónimo de heavy metal asesino (en Europa hay suicidas, en Estados Unidos asesinos de masas). La portada, decíamos: por única vez foto en blanco y negro de los tres componentes (Wetton intentando sonreír, Fripp acechando —o hipnotizando— o escrutando, Bruford alelado), detrás, en la contraportada, un vúmetro marcando un ocho (el octavo elepé) en rojo. Alarma.El fin.
