As you may know, the 30th Anniversary editions of King Crimson's studio albums all are provided with clips from newspapers and magazines. Which are your favorite ones?

Here are three highlights:

from Three Of A Perfect Pair (1984);
"I haven't heard such a dreadful din since I tripped up over the cat last week and fell downstairs. I hate King Crimson as much as I hate their fellow old bores Pink Floyd. (...) 'Three Of A Perfect Pair' is an album for balding old hippies who ought to be ashamed of theirselves."

from Lizard (1970);
"The perfect record for the person you like least of all, but are forced, for one reason or another, to buy them a present. (...) Beatiful sleeve."

from Thrak (1995):
"Progressive rock classicism or posh heavy metal, call it what you will, King Crimson remain a dull and torpid bunch. (...) The lyrics are good too: 'Primal tribal apple eel, I have a new canoe but it does not have a wheel'. Powerful stuff."

Which would your favorites be? They don't have to be negative.
My music!

"THE AUDIENCE WERE generally drugged. (In Holland, always)." - Robert Fripp
