ALBUM REVIEW
This great album is where it all began for the King Crimson stalwarts and for a long time was an expensive out of print collector’s item. Excellent late 60's psychedelic pop, sometimes similar to the early Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, but with a jazzy tinge. Fripp's guitar is already in top form and shows the shapes of things to come in '69 when he and Mike Giles added some guys named Lake and McDonald and became, we all know who. 'Python-esque' and very, very English. This welcome remastered reissue comes with bonus tracks and enhanced artwork and should appeal to all lovers of eccentric late 60’s psychedelia.
