Man With An Open Heart (Alt Take)

DGM Sound World I
In January 1983 King Crimson was a band in search of an album. That journey had taken them to CV Lloyde music store in downtown Champaign, Illinois to work on the follow-up to Beat.

This early version of Man With An Open Heart has a round-the-campfire intimacy to it. For a split second, you could fool yourself into thinking you were about to hear an outtake of John Martyn’s sepulchral Solid Air as Adrian strums his acoustic guitar on the intro.

A lovely and unexpected glimpse into the life of a song in its early stages before its sonic embellishments and ultimate final form for Three Of A Perfect Pair at Bearsville Studios later in the year.

Great alternative
While I love ToaPP this piece is the worst KC track ever imho (one of the very few which I cannot listen to... ok, the only track, everything else KC is epic) However, this early version has the right vibes and I like it a lot. Thanks for this alternative for my personal alternative ToaPP album in my collection!

A slow version of this song
Another nice nugget retrieved by Mr. Stormy from the cavernous DGM archives. I enjoyed listening to this version.
