This is a brand new vinyl record, factory sealed in its original packaging.
King Crimson - Earthbound is a significant live album originally released in 1972, notable for being one of the first "official bootleg" records from a major rock band. This collection features intentionally lo-fi recordings of King Crimson's Islands era lineup during their tour in the USA. Although it did not chart in the UK due to its mid-price status, it achieved notable success on the mid-price charts, standing alongside prominent artists like Jim Reeves and Mantovani. The album was not released in the USA at the time due to the band's breakup and shifting label priorities.
This 50th Anniversary Edition has been cut from restored masters by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering, preserving the raw energy of the original performances. Tracks such as “21st Century Schizoid Man,” “Peoria,” and “The Sailor's Tale” showcase the band's innovative approach and enduring influence in rock music. Over the years, interest in Earthbound has surged, especially as members Robert Fripp and Mel Collins have continued to be integral to King Crimson's evolving lineup.
Despite its gritty sound, Earthbound remains a powerful document of a band pushing musical boundaries, making this vinyl reissue a compelling listen for both new fans and longtime followers of King Crimson.
