  3/5. The very famous 'Red Polydor'. Beautiful CD but the master was kinda disappointing. Some details went into blur while playing. Good though.

  2/5 Even worse than the Red Polydor. Black triangle truly let me down. Nice package & Disc but awful sound. Unbelievably it cost me even more just for a piece of pink paper.

  This is a killer repress of a legendary album, King Crimson at their best.
  Sound stage is well defined, deep and detailed, if you are a fan of Prog then this is an essential album for your collection.
  I get what TerryWatcher said about surface noise on side 2, but it is still a great record

• 
  Sure there’s a lack of low-end, but it still sounds spectacular. Really quiet pressing, little to no surface noise. Epitaph sounds a bit weak though, but TCOTCK sounds powerful. Despite the mixed reviews, I am personally pretty satisfied with this one.

• 
  Usually found in most Top 10 album of all time lists & with good cause. An LP of contrasts: spellbindingly intricate yet passionate, beautiful & scary, ethereal, mystical, baroque & jazzy.
  Quite extraordinary really.

  No cracks or pops, but can confirm dirty sound, on both sides. After both hand cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning there is still a persistent undulating dull static in the quiet passages that seems impossible to remove.

  It sounds truly wonderful. Superbly mastered and mixed, and with great pressing and cutting. It's a very moving and pleasurable listen.
  It's incredible that a song like 21st Century Schizoid Man from 1969 can be heard so much more dynamic, clear, open and powerful than Goliath from The Mars Volta, which it was clearly inspired by, with decades of technology and resources on its side. How much can be done with less resources and with more love and care for the mix and the master.

• 
  Can anyone confirm if this disc uses the Original Master Edition?

• 
  Just got mine today. Runouts are KCLP1 A-2 JASDAFACE LOUD and KCLP1 B-2 JASDAFACE LOUD.
  It has the 2021 "The Elements" Tour Box and just "Panegyric" (no "Inner Knot") in the hype-sticker.

• 
  wow, this album sounds amazing. my pressing has no surface noise, and the 200 gram has a nice feel to it.
