A new four-disc 50th anniversary edition of King Crimson‘s classic 1974 album Red will be reissued through DGM and Panegyric Records on October 11.
Featuring two CDs and two Blu-rays, the new reissue features completely new mixes of the album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA, Surround & Hi-Res Stereo by Steven Wilson, new Elemental mixes in Hi-Res Stereo by David Singleton, a number of extra tracks drawn from the existing sessions reels mixed by David Singleton, all three mixes of the live album USA in Hi-Res Stereo, 5 audio restored bootleg concert recordings from the 1974 US tour making their debut on disc and the audio restored bootleg of the band’s final US show in Central Park NYC on July 1, 1974 as well a new stereo and instrumental mixes by Steven Wilson & new Elemental Mixes and a sequence of studio recordings detailing the making of Starless mixed by David Singleton.
“What I hear on Red is the best representation of 72-74 era line-up in the studio,” says Steven Wilson. “In effect this is a power trio record and their sound is just huge.”
The new reissue is presented as two vinyl replica sleeves in a rigid slipcase with booklet including photos and new sleeve notes by King Crimson biographer and Prog writer Sid Smith.
