Larks' Tongues In Aspic Boxset
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Aug 13, 2012

The long-awaited 40th anniversary edition of the legendary Larks’ Tongues In Aspic quintet  will be released on October 15th. 

One of the key recordings in the King Crimson canon, and the only formal studio recording by the LTIA quintet, the 40th Anniversary Edition will be released in three separate editions to satisfy the merely curious and the expectant collector. 



1. CD/DVD-A: CD: New stereo mix + selected audio extras – all new content. 
DVD-A featuring 5.1 new surround mix, original & new stereo mixes in hi-res stereo, a full album of alt mixes by Steven Wilson & more than 30 minutes of unseen footage of the band live in the studio.

2. Limited edition Boxed Set:13CDs, 1DVD-A, 1Blu-Ray in 12” box with booklet & memorabilia. DVD-A content as above, Blu-Ray content as per DVD-A with further hi-res stereo material – all presented in DTS Master audio, 4CDs of studio content including CD of session reels featuring the first recorded takes of all pieces on the album, 1CD live in the studio, 8CDs of live audio restored bootlegs & soundboard recordings + 36 page booklet with an extensive new interview with Robert Fripp, notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith, album sleeve print, concert ticket replica (with code for further concert download) & band photo postcards – limited to initial orders, one pressing only to a worldwide maximum limit of 7,000 units.

3. 2CD: Complete original & new mixes with selected audio extras.
Whilst the clip of the quintet performing LTIA pt1 during the Bremen Beat Club recording has been available on the internet for several years in varying degrees of quality, there has been some fevered speculation as to whether the full concert would ever see the light of day. 

Though it's been a long time coming, the full video of David Cross, Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Bill Bruford and Jamie Muir will now be seen in full. We hope all Crimheads agree that the waiting to get this in the best possible quality will have been worth while. 

Pre-ordering details will appear soon. 

Surely this is a bit... excessive?

A 13 disc box set... zounds!
It's nice to give the fans a choice like that though.

Yikes I can't imagine what the pricetag on the 13 CD one will be! Wacko

Yes' In a Word 5-CD set was $70 some dollars so I wouldn't be surprised if this is somewhere in the $200s.

13cds...good god! Who knew there was so much Larks' material. But I think I'm going to need to see a track list and price before I commit to anything.

I can't tell if this is a joke that's gone completely over my head or if you're serious.

I can't help but feel that a 13 edition reissue of a single album is just too much. How much material can there be from the same band from the same album, it's studio sessions, and live material to fill up so many CD's? Now, if there was a full concert DVD from that era (and if the line-up included Muir, it would be much better) that would be more than enough for me, and I would rather they would release it separatley. However, as far as I understood, they won't even have a full concert on video, only one song.

Wow, Fripp, you certainly like your massive boxed sets, don't you?
I love King Crimson, but I don't love any band enough to buy a 13 disc boxed set featuring the same material over and over again
