KCCC
:: Posted by David Singleton on Wed., May 2, 2012

Following the various comments on the guestbook, I can confirm that the Collectors Club will draw to an exciting, honourable close at Club50. Club 46 The Marquee 1972, (one of the best sounding shows of the RF/Boz/Ian/Mel line-up) will be the last audio-only release. The last four Collectors Club releases will be DVDs (possibly with accompanying CDs), of which the first of which, Club47, will be a DVDA with footage of two shows in Buenos Aires in 1994.

So the reluctant completists are nearly there.

Crimso 1971 Tour Bundle Goes Live
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Apr 23, 2012
The results of Mister Stormy’s sonic tweaking of the 1971 Boz-era live recordings goes live today. Starting with the Guild Hall in Plymouth and ending in the Academy of Music, New York, there are some great gigs for fans to get their teeth into. 16 gig for just $66.00 FLAC / $50.00 MP3 has to be a bargain!

Arguably the greatest find in the trawl through the Crimson archives is a previously unheard set on the second night at the band’s stint at The Marquee, in pristine sound board quality. Whilst available for downloading now as either an individual concert or as part of the bundle, this concert will also be made available as a CD as part of the KCCC series later this year.
