Band/Record: King Crimson - USA

Label/Matrix: UK 1975 Island ILPS 9316 with A1/B1

Condition Record/Sleeve: Mint-/EX 

Extra Info: Fantastic Album !! Original U.K 1st pressing on Island with original Robor limited Cover and blue poly-lined island inner-sleeve. Wow ..top copy !!

~~ Top notch production !! "Larks' Tongues in Aspic part II " is even much more dynamic performed live in here. Oh Mr. Bruford, how wonderful and powerful your drumming is! I also like Wetton's stormy bass line when he plays altogether with dynamic drum during transition with high energy! I always repeat this track because of this transition. Great! Jobson's violin is also amazing! "Lament" is also performed better in here. "Exiles"? Oh man .. I love when Mr. Fripp's guitar effect enters the song at the beginning. What a rocking style he delivers! Violin work is also great. This track has a very strong melody (tasteful and catchy) and through this performance the gentlemen have done so perfect!

The second side of the LP features other wonderfully composed tracks - performed excellently here. "Asbury Park" opening drum solo accompanied with guitar effects and keyboard are really amazing. Fripp's long sustain, free form open passage, sometimes in the context of unusual signatures guitar style in this track has satisfied my illusion of what the great guitar player should play. Bruford's unsynchronized beats (yet they produce wonderful harmony sounds) are really fascinating! Well, quite honest, I'm so speechless whenever I enjoy this album especially when I observe the nitty-gritty details. Marvelous! It flows seamlessly to my all time favorite Crimson track "Easy Money ". What a great track this one is. Tight structure, wide variety of melody in terms of high and low register notes, great improvisation of drums and bluesy guitar touch with wonderful mellotron at the back.

This live album concludes with a classic and masterpiece "21st Century Schizoid Man"; and this time is performed not by Greg Lake as it appears in studio version. Wetton still maintain the distorted vocal similar to studio version. Considering that this live has no saxophone but the complex part of this live performance is as wonderful as studio version.
