King Crimson "Cat Food" Top of the Pops 1970 (clip, colorized)

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 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 "Schizoid Man" EP/Single 1969/1974/ (1996)

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."

Ian Wallace

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 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.

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.

King Crimson -CC- "Live at The Marquee" (1969) CLUB1 - 1998 Collectors' Club

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.

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..............

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "Lizard" 1970

Quizá fuera el disco más desconocido de King Crimson. El más maltratado incluso por Robert Fripp. Pero hoy en día es una obra maestra........... Después de comprarnos USA (nuestra primera adquisición), de caer en las redes del grupo merced a la recopilación Young Persons’ Guide..., decidimos empezar a adquirir los discos que menos aparecían en esta doble antología. Así el primero en caer fue Lizard, del que Fripp (ya) no escogió ningún tema para ser incluido en esta recopilación. Es un disco precioso se mira por donde se le mire. Aún hoy en día, en una primera escucha, hay gente que cae prendado a las primeras de cambio.

Antoni Mateu.King Crimson "In the Wake of Poseidon" (1970)

Si este disco no fuera el segundo de King Crimson, si no existiera In the Court of the Crimson King, si su primera canción fuera el grito de guerra hiriente que es Schizoid Man, otro gallo le cantaría. Pero siempre es saludado como la continuación, la secuela, el suma y sigue e incluso el plagio del primero. Craso error.......
