Edited 9 months agoThese reissued 200 gram repressings of King Crimson are the way these albums were meant to be heard. I have this, their first album, and Larks’ Tongue & Discipline, and they are all some of the best sounding records in my collection. I play them over and over.
Great job Robert! A masterpiece remastered very well! No noise or any distortion...awsome press!
Blown away with this pressing. 200 grams of the best Prog Rock put to tape.
Starless in vinyl is the quintessence of heard progressive music
Mine is 2018 release, but I cannot find it on Discogs.
It is missing or one of the releases was miswritten.
For those looking to get the best version of King Crimsons catalog on vinyl I recommend reading my review of the 1972 - 1974 box:
https://www.discogs.com/King-Crimson-1972-1974/release/13011002- Edited 4 years agoReally great sound from these reissues. My only gripe might be the recessed drums, but since Ive never heard an original to compare with for all I know the recording or mix is just like that. Very probable since they pick up a bit more after the first 2 tracks. But mostly everything else is just as crisp and clear as Id like it all the way through, without being sibilant mind you. Something which few digital records manage these days. Very pleasant to listen to if you like the "pressure" this album has.
Likely the best sounding version after a mint first press which is too hard to obtain to even consider. Especially if you want a quiet passage of Providence which at least my new copy provided. There is surface noise but it stays rather low. Next to no pops either and the few that jumped out of my speakers I suspect were static discharges. Ill do an update once the record is cleaned. I found Starless especially fantastic sounding and probably the worst sounding part being the clapping on One More Red Nightmare, very 1 dimensional compared to the rest, again probably its just mixed that way, although some extra mastering work could have been done there.
With a sort of flimsy jacket of very thin cardboard albeit with nice aesthetics I still think the sound quality is just overall outstanding. Cant recommend it enough to anyone getting into King Crimson.
