Met alle respect, maar al die (HDCD) remasters, meervoudige CD boxen en ander recente CD en DVD uitgaves zijn totaal niet aan mij besteed, zeker al die overbodige bonustracks en ander nooit uitgebracht materiaal voegt niks toe aan wat er al op de oorpsronkelijke albums staat.

Heb de afgelopen weken twee oudjes van King Crimson op CD gekocht en wel de aller eerste CD uitgaves. Vanaf mijn 18e jaar niet meer gehoord te hebben is het na ruim 30 jaar toch een heel welkome luister ervaring om het eens vanaf CD te horen ipv krakende en bekraste LPs.

King Crimson ''Discipline'' first Red Polydor CD uitgave uit 1983 met matrixnummer dat eindigt op #01 op de CD run out.

A lot of folks have been asking about the availability of downloads from the last tour. As Mr.Stormy indicated in his reply to a guestbook question earlier this week, there are no downloads of the 2014 tour envisaged at this stage. Jakko Jakszyk is currently listening through all the recordings of the concerts assessing what might be made available for release in the spring of 2015.

Staying with the 2014 tour, the good news is that the phenomenally successful Elements Of King Crimson tour box will be available for mail order (Inner Knot) and regular retail from November.

Mainman Robert hopes venue problems can be resolved for dates in September next year
King Crimson mainman Robert Fripp is hoping to bring the latest lineup of the band to the UK in September 2015 – providing issues over venues can be resolved.

The seven-man lineup recently completed their first run of shows in the US, after he put industry wrangles behind him last year and reactivated his touring career.

Fripp tells the Telegraph: “I’ve discussed the possibility of working in Europe next year, including the UK in September. There are still problems to do with the quality of venues – but it’s being looked into.”

He recently revealed that the current lineup, featuring Mel Collins, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison, Jakko Jakszyk and Bill Rieflin, is the first with which he’s genuinely enjoyed touring. Now he says: “It’s the first Crimson where I don’t sense any animosity or resentment from at least one member. This is a group from the get-go; the money is divided equally.”

The 68-year-old accepts the accusation from former colleagues that he was a hard taskmaster in previous incarnations of the band. “I’m a very difficult person to work with – because in King Crimson there was a founding statement to be honoured, going back to 1969,” he says.

“And if what is available fails to meet what I see as a responsibility to the larger Crimson, then that gap has to be met by someone. And it would fall to me. So it’s not a comfortable place.”

But his current activities come after a period in which he discovered a great deal of personal happiness, which he says made it easier to face returning to the road. “My wife told me I was in danger of becoming dull,” Fripp explains. “What I’m doing now was partly a necessity. When you’re happy, it’s time to pull out the pointed stick.”
