KING CRIMSON - Earthbound (50th Anniversary Reissue) - LP - 200g Vinyl

LP - Limited Edition 200g Super-Heavyweight Black Vinyl. Only 2000 copies pressed in this edition. The first Kng Crimson live album from 1972.

Earthbound was originally issued in 1972 and marked the final statement by the band's Islands-era incarnation. Earthbound was one of the earliest (if not the first) “official bootleg” released by a major rock band, consisting of a series of deliberately lo-fi live recordings of King Crimson’s Islands era line-up on tour in the USA. When issued, because of its mid-price, it was excluded from the main album charts in the UK but topped the mid-price charts rubbing shoulders with Jim Reeves and Mantovani. Atlantic in the USA didn’t even bother to release it. By then, the band had broken up and the label had already been alerted to the likelihood of a new King Crimson line-up promised for later in the year.
