King Crimson To Release Fabled Blue Tapes


King Crimson are gearing up to release the fabled Blue Tapes recordings from the Starless And The Bible Black era.
The recordings were made during performances given by Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and David Cross in 1973 and 1974.
They're to be included in a multi-disc box set entitled Starless, which continues a series of extensive live collection released by Fripp's DGM Live label.
But the contents have not been finalised – and Crimson staff are keen to hear from fans who might have pictures, tapes or memories from the era.
They say: "DGM is pleased to confirm that an October release date has been set forStarless, a multi-disc CD/DVD-A/Blu-Ray boxed set featuring live and studio recordings from October 1973 to April 1974.
"This set will feature the first complete release of the Blue Tapes – the highest quality reel-to-reel direct to stereo/soundboard live recordings, with many appearing on CD for the first time.
"More details of the content will be announced nearer the time of release. If you were in the audience at any of the gigs listed and would like to share your memories of the concerts for possible inclusion in the booklet, drop a line to sidsmith@dgmlive.com as soon as possible.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
