King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King (Island ILPS 9111)

Mark Williams, International Times, 10 October 1969

THE ULTIMATE Album. There is little one can fault with it; the arrangements make masterful use of multi-tracking, compressing and reducing, the standard of playing almost defies belief at times, the vocals are merely excellent and the numbers are brilliantly and exactingly written.

Total word count of piece: 100
