King Crimson The Elements Of King Crimson 2018 Tour Box 2CD
A companion to the successful 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 Tour Boxes, the 2018 Elements Tour Box was originally created for concert venue sales on King Crimson’s 2018 European tour.
 
As with previous releases in the series, the full variety of King Crimson’s music is presented over 2 CDs with extracts from rehearsals, new live recordings, elements from studio recordings, full tracks, alternate takes and finished recordings from 1969-2017, many of which make their first appearance on CD (including many by the current line-up, such as the Jakko Jakszyk/Gavin Harrison demo recording of Discipline).
 
Every line-up is featured across the double CD set. 
 
Packaged in a DVD-sized fold out digipak style book case with a 24 page booklet including sleeve notes by co-compiler Sid Smith, photos of memorabilia, full info about the 2017 tour and a number of band and individual photos of the current band line-up.
 
The 2015, 2016 and 2017 Tour Box releases are also in stock and shipping now.
