Title: King Crimson – In The Court Of The Crimson King
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1969, Rock, Progressive Rock, London, England
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Band Drama: The original lineup started splintering almost immediately—members began exiting within months, turning “King Crimson” into Fripp’s revolving-door concept early on.

  2. Album Art: The cover face wasn’t a label brief—it was painted by programmer/artist Barry Godber, who died young soon after, making the art part of the record’s permanent ghost story.

  3. Scene Ecology: Their early rise rode the UK underground club circuit and festival bills where prog, jazz, and psych still shared stages before genres fully segregated.
