Superbe compilation pour une découverte idéale de cette incroyable groupe- My pressing sounds amazing, the bass, vocals and guitars jump out of the speakers. This is the UK 1975 Island records version, highly recommended. The 10-page book that comes with it, with pictures and all the tour dates is an added bonus.
- My pressing of this compilation is fantastic. The Editions EG whole King Crimson half-speed mastered reissue campaign from the mid-80s is top notch. All of the copies I own are very dynamic, very wide soundstage, low surface noise and very clean. The bass is deep and full. The snare hits and cymbals are very rich and snappy. Fripp's acoustic guitar work on "Peace - A Theme" and "Cadence and Cascade" sounds like he is sitting in front of me. The acoustics just sound spectacular. This was one I bought new and have always been very pleased with this pressing.
- this lp is worth the price of admission just for the wonderful funky folk of the i talk to the wind unreleased version with judy dyble on vocals
- Props to Robert Fripp of all people for catering to the "teens discovering their parents' music" a good decade before that would become a thing.
- Edited one year agothe pressing isn't great. I don't know what they did to make it sound like this, but it's not fantastic. The sound isn't as punchy and sounds kinda shallow.
- I could be wrong but this may be the only King Crimson album I'm aware of that was originally mastered by Harry Moss. The dead wax is so narrow on side one that his HTM inscription is not included there.
- My version is WLBL Music Hall common one, say "PROHIBIDA SU VENTA-DISCO PARA DEMOSTRACIÓN". Don´t come with booklet and the front of cover don´t have the label "La Guía King Crimson Para el Joven Moderno".
- A mexican 1977 version, same inner labels, but slight diference in portrait and back. Same label #r. Comes with a 20-page 11" square scrapbook, featuring a complete King Crimson diary and gig list (1969-74), full with cuttings and photographs (compiled by Robert Fripp).Issued in a gatefold cover too.

I bought a sealed copy of this mispress around late-1980 or early-'81, but traded it in soon after. nice to finally learn that side 4 was from Oscar Peterson's Paris Concert album. since that concert was in 1978 and its album was 1979, then this KC pressing is likely from between 1978 and 1981.
