KING CRIMSON "In The Court Of Crimson King" (1969/2019)
От автора блога: "Всем меломанам привет! Честно говоря, не собирался делать этот пост, но, однако, поразмыслив, все-таки решил опубликовать. Речь здесь пойдет об очередном переиздании альбома, вынесенного в заголовок. Адептов первых виниловых прессов прошу дальше не читать! Для коллекционеров всего, что связано с этой группой, возможно, будет интересно. Хотя я не понимаю необходимость в n-нном переиздании, точнее, понимаю так, что это очередная попытка "нарубить еще какое-то количество деньжат". Так что заканчиваю за сим, дальше сухая информация, вдруг, кому-то действительно это интересно, и вдруг кто из желающих об этом не знает?"
25 октября 2019 в продажу поступит новое переиздание культового и знакового, не только для рок-музыки, дебютного альбома коллектива под управлением Роберта Фриппа KING CRIMSON, посвященного 50-летнему юбилею пластинки.
Далее без перевода размещу подробности, думаю в переводе и, тем более, каких-то комментариях эта информация не нуждается. Вариантов издания два: первый - на двух виниловых пластинках (26 фунтов стерлингов); второй - 3CD & Blu-Ray (30 фунтов). (Недорого, кстати!)
- Blu-Ray features a complete alternate album comprising 2019 mixes by Steven Wilson including a much extended duo version of ‘I Talk to The Wind’, a June 19th version of ‘The Court of the Crimson King’ from the band’s final day at Morgan studios in June 1969, an isolated voice dominant version of ‘Epitaph’ & a version of ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ which combines the Morgan studios instrumental with Greg Lake vocals from Wessex studios and August 2019 overdubs by Mel Collins & Jakko Jakszyk – the latter two mixed by David Singleton.
- A further album’s worth of additional material drawn from studio takes – much of it mixed by Steven Wilson & including extracts from the ‘wind session’ that produced the intro to 21CSM in stereo for the first time, the single a/b sides of the album title track drawn, for the first time since on disc, from the original master tapes & more are also included.
- The Blu-Ray is completed by a set of 2019 instrumental mixes and the surviving fragment of black & white footage from Hyde Park in 1969
- This set marks the first appearance of the album on Blu-Ray completing the availability of all King Crimson studio albums on the format.
- CD1 presents the album in its 2019 stereo mix – along with the 2019 instrumental takes (with ‘Moonchild’ edited to song length)
- CD2 presents an expanded edition of the alternate album from the Blu-Ray
- CD3 features the original master edition of the 1969 mix plus additional tracks

Также, учитывая замечания и пожелания моих читателей, размещаю музыку альбома "на послушать"... Хотя искренне не понимаю таких людей, кто ворчит, если к статье, к примеру, об альбоме WINGS "London Town" не приложена музыка!!! Короче, извольте:
