Incredible!! and I thought that I had taken advantage of the time during the confinement 
So much for my resting my wallet.
2020 Wilson Atmos mix. People will dig that.
Somebody please take my credit card away from me!
Steven Wilson's take on the new set:
Solos and mellotrons circling overhead... take my money and soul away

26 discs for £145 (plus the book, etc.) sounds like a reasonable deal, but I don't know if I'd ever listen to all of those discs more than once (like that recent massive Woodstock set).
So, good value ... but seriously, how many times would you folks listen to all of the 26 discs? Sounds like a release for only hard-core, completist KC fans.
However, even with the VAT discount (so £120), the postage to Oz (from Burning Shed) is another £66, so £187 ... no thanks, but perhaps others can find a better postage deal?

I’ll stick with the much improved 50th anniversary Blu-ray release.
They got me (I have every other box set, so why stop with a SW Dolby Atmos?).
Pre-ordered: Burning Shed as usual. That snapping sound you hear is my credit card being frozen in ice in the fridge for the rest of the year.

As much as I would like to have this boxset I already have the previous one plus the Epitaph boxset plus last years Blu-Ray plus several collectors editions and all the sessions so the Dolby Atmos is the only new thing for me. I can’t justify paying £145 +shipping for this oneHere it is, the complete 1969 sessions box set, out on October 23rd: King Crimson - Complete 1969 Recordings
Burning Shed preorder: Complete 1969 Recordings

Agreed. I would love to hear the ATMOS mix but there is too much in this package that is of zero interest to me. A stand alone Blu-ray would be nice but it would probably affect sales of the box set.

Been expecting/waiting for this one - who would've thought 2020 would be such an expensive year for surround - immediately preordered from Burning Shed. This is likely the last big box set from Fripp & company - somehow fitting that the earliest Crimson recordings from way back in 1968-69 would receive the most lavish treatment and latest technology (Atmos!). I've purchased all the other big Crimson sets and could not pass on this one, although most of the live material is probably of dubious quality. I Talk to The Wind and Epitaph cemented my lasting love for King Crimson and progressive rock when I was just a lad in high school, and set a bar for quality, challenging progressive music that has rarely been equalled since. Still hoping for one last new studio album from the band before Fripp calls it quits, but if this is the end of a long, long road, I'll be happy.
