The Elements tour box was devised specifically for the current King Crimson
tour & as a
companion volume to the highly successful 2014 tour box. The compilation has
already been a big seller throughout the UK/EU tour.
The depth & variety of King Crimson’s archives allows for the
presentation of such “alternate
best of/introduction to…” style releases, providing a fascinating audio
history of the band
featuring extracts of the current line-up in rehearsal pre-tour, new live
recordings taken from
last year’s sold out US tour, elements from studio recordings, full tracks,
alternate takes &
finished recordings from 1969–2015, many of which make their first appearance
on CD. Every
line-up is featured across the 2CD set. The set also provides tantalising audio
extracts & hints
of forthcoming King Crimson releases. The accompanying booklet features
sleeve-notes by
co-compiler Sid Smith, photos of memorabilia, full info about the current tour
& a number of
band & individual photos of the line-up taken by band member
Tony Levin.
