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.
