king crimson had also achieved a rare feat for a rock group - becoming one of the very few acts to release a classic album in three separate decades. from 'in the court of the crimson king' in 1969, via 'red' in 1974 to 'discipline' in 1981, with differing line-ups and radically different sounds the band's reputation for innovation and progression (in the best sense of the word) was unassailable. as with other albums in the king crimson cd / dvd-a series, the stereo cd features a new stereo mix by robert fripp and steven wilson, while the dvd-a features 5.1 mixes of the album by steven wilson, high resolution stereo mixes of the original and new stereo mixes, the original album in rough mix form presented in its first intended running order, video performance footage from the old grey whistle test tv show and further audio extras and rarities.
