King Crimson - The Complete 1969 Recordings (2020) 4xBlu-ray

Prog-rockers King Crimson are set to give their debut album the royal treatment, with an impressive 26-disc box set appropriately titled The Complete 1969 Recordings.

The Complete 1969 Recordings promises to provide "the complete audio history" of the
band's debut. It will feature a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix by Steven Wilson alongside
6CDs of session material fully mixed by David Singleton (also available on Blu-ray.)
The box also features every alternate take and mix variation known to exist of the Court
material, plus radio sessions, all known live material from the era, and a number of
versions of the completed album. For context, the compilation producers have elected to
include a selection of "pre-Crimson" 1968 recordings by Giles, Giles, and Fripp.

Steven Wilson was on hand to remix the album once more. Following his 5.1 mixes for the
40th and 50th anniversary box sets, Wilson has expanded the album to the Dolby Atmos
format. "I've definitely had a bit more fun with this mix," Wilson said in a post on
social media. "Watch out for solos and mellotrons circling overhead." The band promises
an active Atmos mix, "with plenty of ear-catching moments to offer to listeners."
