DGM & Panegyric proudly present the 50th anniversary editions of the King Crimson classic album Red.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, a 2 Blu-ray + 2 CD edition (with brand new Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Surround & Stereo mixes by Steven Wilson) and a 2LP edition are being released this Autumn.
Taking the music to new levels of clarity & power. ‘Red’ was one of the earliest mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson in 2009 & King Crimson was the first of a number of classic bands & artists to be mixed by Steven so it’s entirely appropriate that he return, some 15 years later, to take the album into the Dolby Atmos era.
Whilst mixing the album for Dolby Atmos, Steven also prepared new stereo & 5.1 mixes. Those new stereo mixes appear on LP1 of this 2LP set.
““What I hear on Red is the best representation of 72-74 era line-up in the studio. In effect this is a power trio record and their sound is just huge.” – Steven Wilson
LP2 consists of a complete album’s worth of Elemental Mixes by long-time King Crimson producer (& band manager) David Singleton – using the original multi-track recordings to present a very different audio picture of the album, with greater separation of instruments & utilising many elements recorded for, but not included in, the original mixes. This LP features a unique insight into Bruford’s percussion overdubs in place of ‘Providence’ & an extended intro to ‘Starless’
As King Crimson biographer Sid Smith puts it in his new notes for the album: “David Singleton’s elemental mixes pull the veil aside on the original sessions and act as a kind of alternative account, a Red that could have been, revealing the different passes and takes that the band undertook as well as those of Collins, Charig and McDonald as they engaged with the material”.
In the decades since its release, Red has gone from being an album that was, upon release, under-promoted – as the band had already split up, to being one of the most lauded albums of its era & (after In The Court of the Crimson King), King Crimson’s biggest selling album. Writing in The Mojo Collection in 2000, John Bungey assessed Red as “that rarest of records, the sound of a line-up quitting while ahead”.
As guitarist Steve Vai – a man about to undertake playing some of Fripp’s parts in Beat – a band devoted to playing King Crimson material - wrote in his online diary about the mid-1970s King Crimson (amidst a much longer piece eulogizing the band): “It’s impossible to quantify the effect that this band has had on contemporary musicians” – Steve Vai, July 2004
