There's news on the interwebs that Andy Johns has died. Although he'll be best remembered for his work with the likes of Led Zeppelin and The Stones etc, readers of the Young Persons Guide To King Crimson scrapbook will know his brief association with Crimso in 1969. On 12th June that year KC began an attempt to record their first album at Morgan Studios where Johns worked with Moody Blues producer, Tony Clarke. The scrapbook notes:

JUNE 13 Andy Johns collapses.
JUNE 18 Recording abandoned with all tapes.
