King Crimson - Heaven & Earth box set (18CD / 4 BD-A / 2 DVD-A)

linked via Burning Shed twitter post. This is a bit sloppy at first, but a great read. It also mentions the Crim show where Ade was sick.

I couldn't find decent sized art for the cover so here is a 1200 x 1200 that I knocked out if anyone wants it for tagging.

Try on this website: https://bendodson.com/projects/itunes-artwork-finder/
I can generally find high resolution covers for most albums. Sometimes, changing the country will also provide different results. I generally try USA, UK and Italy. Good luck!

 

[Marplot]

thanks, I will check it out.
In this case though I also want the art with the 40th Anniversary banner.

 

[Marplot]

Oh, I dig finding Dick Danello art via an Italian selection, thanks Albertop!

Does anyone know what's going on with Amazon UK? The boxset seems to be in stock since last Friday, but it's not being shipped

Though to make things a bit confusing, the big box is apparently shipping with 50th Anniversary printed on the outside.

Here you go!

That's funny that you mention that because I thought it was strange that on the release date it said "in stock" but it also said "ships in 1or 2 days"..I can't remember ever seeing that on an in stock item...amazon UK seems to be having "issues"...

KC TRoL/TPtB CD/DVD Review:

Mike, a VERY BIG 2 UP for your presentation. Liked all the cut~a~ways which added greatly to your presentation and glad to see you've really got your mojo working ..... the sparkle in your eyes is back which added greatly to your very enthusiastic review.

As I haven't received my two DVD~As from Deep Discount as of yet, I felt like I did through your analysis of remixer David Singleton's remixes and of course, you did, aptly through your graphs, give us a nice description of where are the instruments and vocals were placed within the soundstage.

And glad you highlighted the fact that King Crimson has released all of their core albums in LOSSLESS 5.1 Surround and that they very considerately released them as stand alone editions apart from the pricier and more inclusive box sets.

One could only wish that all these 5.1 remixes would likewise be released as stand alone editions apart from their sometimes ridiculously priced box sets for casual rather than rabid fans which I'm sure would result in more appreciable sales figures.

I went with Amazon UK for the cheap bastard price as well. Says shipping June 29. I'm OK with that for saving $60 (and that's even with the DGM "frequent flyer" discount).

Probably a few things to catch up on still from their last box if I think about it too. Sure looking forward to the Project X Heaven & Earth album itself in 5.1 though! That's getting cued up first.

Jim, I politely complained to Amazon UK support this morning and ended up with no clear response about new delivery date, but 5 pounds voucher as an apology for the delay. You may try as well
I'm anxious to start to listen to this beast of a box!

Amazon UK said they shipped my copy via a courier called GEOD (never heard of 'em) on Sunday. They're saying I should expect delivery on the 21st.

However, last week I broke down and also ordered one of the recent Kate Bush box sets from them. They sent it Royal Mail and said I would have it on the 25th. It showed up yesterday, one week after I ordered it. So who knows, hopefully GEOD is as quick as the Royal Mail.

King Crimson's total catalog now streaming (!). Maybe this should be a new thread. Maybe not. I want physical!

Finally! I've found it nigh-impossible to sample any of these songs online, so I never know which DVD-A to pick up next. Even YouTube has an incredibly limited selection of mostly needle-drops.

I'm reading on the other forum about potential mastering errors in the ProjeKcts blu ray. It's a speed error that might also affect ProjeKct X which is included in DVD 19. Could someone confirm this?

 

[hwkn]

Word has it they'll have a download available soon with the speed corrected versions of the affected tracks.[they wrongly mastered the tracks on the Blu ray at 44.1 thus the speed problem]
