The book is reviewed by John Kelman at All About Jazz...

It's unlikely that there's any salient information from the original In the Court of King Crimson that can't be found in In the Court of King Crimson: An Observation Over 50 Years, albeit in, perhaps, significantly revised form, and possibly placed elsewhere in the narrative. What this means is that Smith's new edition is not so much an augmented book that renders the original superfluous; it's more a brand new book that uses the first edition as its starting point. Which also means that those who own the original In the Court of King Crimson may we'll find themselves keeping it, alongside In the Court of King Crimson: An Observation Over 50 Years: two vastly different books on the same subject by the same author, but one told with the dual benefits of far greater exposure and being an even better writer.
