In the Court of the Crimson King

In the Court of the Crimson King is the /mu/core debut studio album by   King Crimson. The album is generally viewed as one of the strongest of the progressive rock genre, where King Crimson largely stripped away the blues-based foundations of rock music and mixed together  jazz and  classical  symphonic elements.

In 2010 the album was re-released both on vinyl and CD with newly cut masters approved by Robert Fripp. Remastering was executed by  Steven Wilson of  Porcupine Tree.

In February 2013 an extensive movement started to promote the removal of the album from the official /mu/core listings. As of today, the discussion has already spanned more than a thousand replies.
