Notes

Originally released by Atlantic Records 1969.
Pressed in Japan for the USA.
Gatefold sleeve.

The group s definitive album, and one of the most daring debut albums ever recorded by anybody. At the time, it blew all of the progressive/psychedelic competition the Moody Blues, the Nice, etc. out of the running, although it was almost too good for the band s own good -- it took King Crimson nearly four years to come up with a record as strong or concise. Ian McDonald s Mellotron is the dominant instrument, along with his saxes and Fripp s guitar, making this a somewhat different-sounding record from everything else they ever did. And even though that Mellotron sound is muted and toned down compared to their concert work of the era e.g., Epitaph , it is still fierce and overpowering, on an album highlighted by strong songwriting most of it filled with dark and doom-laden visions , the strongest singing of Greg Lake s entire career, and Fripp s guitar playing that strangely mixed elegant classical, Hendrix-like rock explosions, and jazz noodling. Lineup changes commenced immediately upon the album s release, and Fripp would ultimately be the only survivor on later King Crimson records.
