Recapitulation, Crims 90s correspondence

"As part of the larger recapitulation of my life currently underway, I have been reviewing correspondence between myself and other Crims during the 1990s. This was a brutal decade for me, with the collapse of EG in 1991 and the attempted sale of KC copyrights to Virgin and BMG. These copyrights were not for EG to sell, and a process of litigation and dispute began, ongoing until 1997.

Mr. Pete Tomsett in his Fifty Shades Of Crimson reflects one view of my role in KC, as a person who issues decrees to the weak-willed Crimson saps who, presumably, hang around waiting for Fripp’s instructions in what to do and when to do them. I am not sure on what basis Mr. Tomsett has come to his dopey understanding of my motivations and actions. It is unlikely that he, or any other commentator on social media, has access to the correspondence between myself and the Crims during, for example, the 1990s.

This correspondence was never intended to be made public but, given recent postings, may be useful to those who take an interest in the mechanics of how KC operated in that decade. Below, some of the relevant correspondence."
