King Crimson: The Complete 1969 Recordings [Blu-ray]

The Complete 1969 Recordings - Limited 26 disc box set (4 BD, 2 DVDs, 20 CDs).

Ultimate Boxed Set Edition of one of rock music's seminal debut albums. Blu-ray 4 features all-new, 2020, Dolby Atmos mix by Steven Wilson.

Complete, fully mixed stereo recording sessions feature on Blu-ray, DVD and across six CDs. Blu-Rays also feature the original master edition of the 1969 album mix in 24/96 stereo, the 2019 stereo and 5.1 mixes, the 2009 stereo and 5.1 mixes, a complete alternate album comprising 2019 mixes and more.

Having done 5.1 Surround Sound mixes for both the 40th & 50th-anniversary editions of the album, Steven Wilson was able to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by Atmos mixing, allowing for far greater movement within the mix itself. As he put it: "I've definitely had a bit more fun with the Atmos mix, watch out for solos and mellotrons circling overhead!" While the improv section of 'Moonchild' is a particular beneficiary of this approach, the mix is very active, with plenty of ear-catching moments to offer to listeners.

"Let's Make a Hit Waxing" - single CD 'in the studio with the band' mixed and compiled by David Singleton - also features in 24/48 on DVD and 24/96 hi-res on Blu-ray. 13 further CDs present all known live recordings of the band, BBC sessions, a CD compilation of Giles, Giles & Fripp material (1968) and all studio recordings and alt takes of the main album. Presented in an album sized box with outer slipcase, containing a 12" booklet featuring an intro from Robert Fripp, notes about the source tapes by David Singleton, sleeve-notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith and previously unseen photos from the recording sessions plus memorabilia.

Artwork derived from 2019 scans of the original paintings, meticulously restored. The eighth boxed set in the series documenting King Crimson's studio and live recordings from 1969 onwards.
