The 2016 Tour Box will go on general sale on November 4th and is now available for pre-order.

This 2 disk package,with many tracks and extracts appearing on CD for the first time, has previously only been available on the merch table on King Crimson’s current tour.

The Elements tour boxes were devised specifically for the King Crimson tours but have since gone on to great success with fans with both 2014 and 2015 editions becoming firm favourites with seasoned fans and newcomers to the group.

The depth and variety of King Crimson’s archives allows for the presentation of such “alternate best of/introduction to…” style releases, providing a fascinating audio history of the band featuring extracts from rehearsals, new live recordings, elements from studio recordings, full tracks, alternate takes and finished recordings from 1969-2015, many of which make their first appearance on CD. Every line-up of the band is featured across the 2CD set.

The set also provides tantalising audio extracts & hints of forthcoming King Crimson releases.

The accompanying booklet features sleeve-notes by co-compiler Sid Smith, photos of memorabilia, full info about the current tour & a number of band and individual photos of the line-up.
