King Crimson — Red: 50th Anniversary

Double LP edition of their explosive 1974 album!

Pressed on 200 gram vinyl

LP 1  features 2024 stereo mixes by Steven Wilson

LP 2 features 2024 Steven Wilson & David Singleton Elemental Mixes

Panegyric proudly present the 50th anniversary edition of the King Crimson classic album Red. Red was one of the earliest mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson in 2009 and King Crimson was the first of a number of classic bands and artists to be mixed by Steven so it's entirely appropriate that he return, some 15 years later, to take the album into the Dolby Atmos era.

Also, featured are a complete album's worth of Elemental Mixes by long-time King Crimson producer (& band manager) David Singleton — using the original multi-track recordings to present a very different audio picture of the album, with greater separation of instruments & utilizing many recorded elements recorded for, but not included in, the original mixes. Multiple new to disc tracks & studio takes — representing all material to survive from the recording sessions have also been mixed &/or mastered for inclusion, making this the most comprehensive overview of the album to be released.

Red was recorded immediately after King Crimson's final US tour of 1974 & the anniversary edition reflects that by including all three Hi-Res Stereo mixes of the live album USA in it's full concert versions. Also included are a quintet of audio restored bootlegs being issued on disc for the first time, alongside a bootleg of the band's final U.S. concert in New York in 1974 which Robert Fripp claimed was: "...the first gig since the 1969 Crimson where the bottom of my spine registered 'out of this world' to the same degree."
