Vindication for artists control of material
With this release and the companion Vol 2 what is obvious is that King Crimson from this era were primarily a live band and that the 3 studio albums from this period(Larks Tongue in Aspic,Starless Bible Black and Red)were in comparison rather muted affairs. br / br /The material from this era had a lot of improvisation which is why the live format is/was a much better representation of this incarnation of the band. br / br /Over the last 15 years Robert Fripp has overseen a fantastic re- appraisal of Crimson ouput via a variety of formats many thru the Collectors Club.Now previously hard to obtain recordings are becoming widely available-somethiing that would never happen on a major record label. br / br /All of the releases by King Crimson over the last 15 years have been subject to the same high quality control standards and continuity is provided via the superb artwork by PJ Crook-an oft overlooked area which is also misunderstood by many record labels. br / br /In conclusion these 2 releases are a testament for artistic integrity and artistic control (as well as awesome material!)and should be seen as an example for all serious recording artists to aspire to. br /
