Limited edition "Blue Sparkle" vinyl reissue

Recorded at The Casino, Asbury Park, New Jersey on June 28, 1974

Lacquers cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering

Released on the exact 50th anniversary date of the original concert recording at The Casino, Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA, on June 28, 1974, King Crimson's blistering USA available is now available as a limited edition on double 200-gram "Blue Sparkle" vinyl.

The complete concert taken from the 2013 mix of the full concert by Robert Fripp, David Singleton & Tony Arnold.

USA was the first official live recording of this incendiary mid-1970s King Crimson incarnation - Bill Bruford, David Cross, Robert Fripp, John Wetton — and captures the band at its most powerful. One of the last few concerts of King Crimson's final U.S. tour of the 1970s.

The 1972/1974 King Crimson lineup is now revered by critics and fans alike as one of the key bands of the era — a reputation enhanced by DGM's archival live releases from that period, starting with "The Great Deceiver" released in 1992, through to the multi-disc boxed sets of more recent years.

Originally issued on vinyl in 2018 as part of the second King Crimson vinyl series boxed sets and only briefly available as a standalone set from that box, this vinyl reissue is much sought after by King Crimson fans and presents the 2013 mix of the concert.
