King Crimson's notorius live album – 50th anniversary


King Crimson’s first live album was released 50 years ago today (June 9). Despite the low-fi sound, many fans love it. …Okay, and many do not.
”First time I heard it, in the early 1980’s, I thought it was a bootleg. And it could have been, judging from the sound”, recalls Radio Dupree Crimson afficionado Sigurd Huckle.
”However, I was immediately spellbound by Earthbound. The rough sound, the surprisingly funky band, took me by storm.”

The mysterious album liner notes that should be intriguing for anyone with an interest in music.

You can read all about the events surrounding the album that still polarises fans 50 years on:
