The long-awaited 40th anniversary edition of the legendary Larks’ Tongues In Aspic quintet will be released on October 15th.

One of the key recordings in the King Crimson canon, and the only formal studio recording by the LTIA quintet, the 40th Anniversary Edition will be released in three separate editions to satisfy the merely curious and the expectant collector.

1. CD/DVD-A: CD: New stereo mix + selected audio extras – all new content.
DVD-A featuring 5.1 new surround mix, original & new stereo mixes in hi-res stereo, a full album of alt mixes by Steven Wilson & more than 30 minutes of unseen footage of the band live in the studio.

2. Limited edition Boxed Set:13CDs, 1DVD-A, 1Blu-Ray in 12” box with booklet & memorabilia. DVD-A content as above, Blu-Ray content as per DVD-A with further hi-res stereo material – all presented in DTS Master audio, 4CDs of studio content including CD of session reels featuring the first recorded takes of all pieces on the album, 1CD live in the studio, 8CDs of live audio restored bootlegs & soundboard recordings + 36 page booklet with an extensive new interview with Robert Fripp, notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith, album sleeve print, concert ticket replica (with code for further concert download) & band photo postcards – limited to initial orders, one pressing only to a worldwide maximum limit of 7,000 units.

3. 2CD: Complete original & new mixes with selected audio extras.

Whilst the clip of the quintet performing LTIA pt1 during the Bremen Beat Club recording has been available on the internet for several years in varying degrees of quality, there has been some fevered speculation as to whether the full concert would ever see the light of day.

Though it's been a long time coming, the full video of David Cross, Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and Jamie Muir will now be seen in full. We hope all Crimheads agree that the waiting to get this in the best possible quality will have been worth while.

Pre-ordering details will appear soon.

YEAH!

Yes !

Zounds!

That's gotta be a new record for most material included in a deluxe reissue of a single album. Does anything else come close?

CD-DVDA for me! Thank you Steven Wilson, the hardest working man in show business. Btw he has 2 releases coming up himself this Fall, a solo live album from his world tour (which I saw in Times Square) and another live album from Porcupine Tree from their previous tour which hit Radio City Music Hall at one point.

I'm thinking about the big box[the Blu ray's tempting since I don't have DVD-A capability].

I am going for the CD/DVD-A: CD: New stereo mix + selected audio extras – all new content.
DVD-A featuring 5.1 new surround mix, original & new stereo mixes in hi-res stereo, a full album of alt mixes by Steven Wilson & more than 30 minutes of unseen footage of the band live in the studio.

Then, when the time is right on a good deal I will spring for the "motherlode" box. I did that for the "In the Court..." and did well.

Let us know when it gets put on Amazon.

The price i've seen listed online through DGM is $134 without shipping.

As I'm quite certain I can't afford option #2, I'm in for option #1.

From superdeluxeedition.com (this has some info we already knew):

Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, the 1973 album by King Crimson is being re-released to celebrate its 40th anniversary. The album will be reissued on 15 October (23 Oct in the US) in three configurations – a double CD, a CD/DVD-A and a 15 disc box set:

Double CD

The double CD includes the completely new stereo album mix by Robert Fripp & Steven Wilson and also features three extra Steven Wilson alt takes/mixes from the multi-track tapes along with the 30th anniversary mix of the original albums, a US radio advert and an edit (transferred from original vinyl) from a US radio promo EP. This edition comes with new sleeve notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith, along with rare photos and archive material.

CD/DVD-A

The CD/DVD-A features the new stereo album mix by Robert Fripp & Steven Wilson and also features three extra Steven Wilson alt takes/mixes from the multi-track tapes. The dvd-a contains a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz) which will be available on all DVD players. If you own a DVD-A players you can additionally access a 5.1 Advanced Resolution (Lossless audio) mix. The dvd-a features the original album mix, the new album mix, an album’s worth of alternate mixes by Steven Wilson (in High Resolution stereo) and over 30 minutes of rare, previously unseen footage of the band – something of a holy grail for King Crimson fans & collectors. This edition comes with new sleeve notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith, along with rare photos and archive material.

15 Disc Box Set [ PRE-ORDER UK - US ]

The box set includes the album mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) & fully approved by Crimson founder Robert Fripp.

CDs 1 – 9 feature 8 CDs of live material from audio restored bootlegs + a CD of live performance in a film studio.

CDs 9 – 13 also feature 4 CDs of studio material including a new stereo album mix, an album’s worth of alt takes/mixes, the original 30th anniversary master plus audio extras & an audio documentary CD drawn from the original session multi-tracks featuring the first take of every piece on the album.

The DVD-A contains a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz). DVD-A players and some Blu-Ray players can additionally, access a 5.1 Advanced Resolution (Lossless audio) mix. The dvd-a features the original album mix, the new album mix, an album’s worth of alternate mixes by Steven Wilson (in High Resolution stereo) and over 30 minutes of rare, previously unseen footage of the band – something of a holy grail for King Crimson fans & collectors.

The Blu-Ray features full dvd-a content + many additional audio features in full lossless 24/96.

The box is limited to a once only maximum pressing run of 7,000 units worldwide. 12″ box with booklet (with copious sleeve notes and rare images), memorabilia, album print and concert download.

Based on the product description on the DGM mail order site, this may be the ultimate single album reissue...for any artist. Between the nine discs of live concerts, the four discs of studio related material and a downloadable concert (which DGM says in too poor shape to do any enhancement of...hence it being just a download) the ultimate package contains every single recorded note available from the five piece LTIA era band. The only two sets out there that I can think are comparable are the Stooges Rhino Handmade Funhouse set (which supposedly has every take of those sessions) and possibly last year's Beach Boys Smile set.

The way the box is set up is that you get to experience the band working out the LTIA material on stage before entering the studio (all the live discs are from the fall of '72, with the band in the studio around January 1973). You look at the progression of box sets over the last 25-30 years and you go from Dylan's Biograph (two third old / one third archival) through Genesis's mid 90s "Archives" (all unreleased or uncollected) to Springsteen's "The Promise" (documentary / live concert / alternate album of out-tracks) and this seems to me to be logical endpoint. I don't know what could be next except to release the actual individual tracks from each song for an entire album, allowing the listener to make his own mix. Something along the line of what I think Todd Rundgren did with his TR-1 album, but say with the Abby Road multi-tracks.

While I'm at it,I'll say my real fear is that we have in fact hit the high water mark for CD reissues. I believe it will be difficult to top last fall-winter (Achtung Baby, Smile, Aqua Lung, Quadrophrenia, the Pink Floyd Immersion boxes). My wallet still stings from that run. With the CD market supposedly shrinking I don't know if we'll ever see anything like that again. Hopefully we'll get Neil Young's Archieve set and possibly the complete Bob Dylan / Band Basement Tapes sessions out before it's all over (come on Bob & Robbie - five cds of material are already out on bootlegs...heck Greil Marcus wrote a book about it over fifteen years ago...how tough can it be).

With money tight, I'm only getting the CD/DVD set. The big box looks tempting but for another $100 + i'm over these big expenses.
Look forward to hearing Larks Tongues blasted out in 5.1

This might take a bit to absorb lol. Here's the track listing and I use that term lightly!

From superdeluxeedition.com:

Take a deep breath… below is the full track listing for the forthcoming King Crimson Larks’ Tongues In Aspic 15 disc box set. It’s a monster! All notes and comments from the record label DGM who are releasing this amazing looking set. The price has recently dropped on Amazon UK.

Disc 6 taken from a band cassette soundboard recording. Audio restored at
DGM by David Singleton and Alex R. Mundy.

Though incomplete as a show, this has much to recommend it – a lovely Book of Saturday (still called Daily Games at this point) & a shorter but no less powerful improv than previous, with Exiles incomplete & only a taster from the second improv to leave the listener all the more eager for the missing sections.

Disc 7 taken from cassette bootleg, audio restored June 2012 at DGM by David Singleton and Alex R. Mundy.

Also incomplete, but the material that would form the first side of the album is now solidifying, the playing has tightened as the tour has progressed and the improv’s a killer – another fan favourite download.

(Cross, Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Muir)

Disc 8 taken from cassette bootleg, audio restored June 2012 at DGM by David Singleton and Alex R. Mundy.

The enthusiasm of the audience and the stellar playing balance the deficiencies in the sound quality with a fiery Easy Money & incomplete second improv – complete with much audience participation – giving a flavour of the evening.

Ordered the 2 CD/DVD-A from AmazonUK link this evening. Getting psyched!

Rick A.

Just looked at the top of this thread. the Amazon.UK price for the 3 disc isn't bad, but the USA price is much higher than the previous releases. I think i got mine for around $15 or so.

Rick

Can you put up the link for the 2CD/1DVD version? I only found a 1CD + 1 DVD version for £12 which I have pre-ordered.

Adrian, these are the only versions:

   

I think Rick meant the same one that you already ordered, the CD/DVD-A set in the middle.

Thanks Linda

Correct Linda, I just received mine today so I will blasting K.C. this weekend (and I do not mean the Sunshine band).
