The mastering engineer’s statement (“The Tale of the Tapes”) at the end of the 24-disc (21 cd, 1 dvd, 2 blu-ray!) track listing for THE ROAD TO RED is quite illuminating, at least for TAPE OP fan-types.
Indeed, reading it makes me wish I could somehow afford this “Rolls Royce of King Crimson box sets”, from what is undoubtedly my favorite TWO MONTHS (4/28 to 7/1/1974) in the band’s long and intermittently-inspired history!
For now my copy of the circa-1992, 4 cd GREAT DECEIVER box will need to suffice….
