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.
