King Crimson Rarities (Expanded) Import 200g 2LP (Vinyl)

Rarities double LP features alternate mixes & original Cat Food/Groon single mixes. The album features original imagery from "Young Person's Guide to King Crimson" and includes a reproduction of the original booklet from that compilation.

Limited edition vinyl release previously available in boxed set only. Original studio album remixed by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp. Limited to 2000 copies per title. Pressed on 200 gram vinyl. Originally begun in 2009 by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp for King Crimson's 40th anniversary, a series of new mixes were prepared in both stereo & 5. 1 formats & issued as CD/DVD-a sets. The CD/DVD-A series also provided the catalyst for the larger scale King Crimson boxed sets as issued from 2012 onwards. The impact of both the CD/DVD-A series & the boxed sets helped to kick start a wider interest in the mainstream market for surround sound & for all-encompassing artist boxed sets which had, previously, been limited mostly to 'direct to fan' and/or specialist online sales & retailers. Consumer demand for the remixes on vinyl led to two boxed sets being issued in late 2018.
