King Crimson’s \u201cEarthbound – 40th Anniversary Edition\u201d expanded CD & DVD is now available for pre-order and wll be released on November 17, 2017! \u201cEarthbound,\u201d originally released in 1972, was one of the earliest (if not the first) \u201cofficial bootleg\u201d released by a major rock band, consisting of a series of deliberately lo-fi live recordings of King Crimson’s \u201cIslands\u201d era line-up on tour in the USA. When issued, because of its mid-price it was excluded from the main album charts in the UK but topped the mid-price charts rubbing shoulders with Jim Reeves & Mantovani. Atlantic in the USA didn’t even bother to release it. By then, the band had broken up and the label had already been alerted to the likelihood of a new King Crimson line-up promised for later in the year. Like the later live album, \u201cUSA,\u201d \u201cEarthbound\u201d remained unavailable in the early CD era, with both finally being released in 2002 on CD. Ironically this non-availability served to enhance interest in the album while DGM’s live releases made fans aware that there was a larger story to be told of this line-up’s history.<\/p>\n
When Robert Fripp was asked to guest on the second Grinderman project, Nick Cave noted: \u201cI wanted to work with Robert Fripp because he has done some of the most uniquely unsettling guitar work I have ever heard along with some of the most delicate and finessed. I grew up listening to a lot of the King Crimson stuff. The vinyl copy of the phenomenal live album ‘Earthbound,’ is one of my most treasured possessions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Featuring:
Boz Burrell: Vocals, Bass
Robert Fripp: Guitar, Mellotron
Mel Collins: Saxes, Flute
Ian Wallace: Drums<\/p>\n
The new version of \u201cEarthbound\u201d features an expanded version of the original album on CD & DVD. As a series of stereo only\/low-fi recordings, a 5.1 edition was neither possible nor appropriate. However, also included on the DVD of this release is the full performance from Summit Studios, captured on the same US tour in 1972, appearing in both new stereo & quadraphonic mixes, providing the only live surround recordings of this line-up. This release also features 15 minutes of material not included on the original mail order only CD of Summit studios as issued by DGM in 2000. The DVD also features the \u201cSchizoid Men\u201d sequence from the \u201cLadies of the Road\u201d live album & a transfer of a 1972 vinyl edition of the \u201cEarthbound\u201d LP.<\/p>\n
