Another Week Another Vinyl: King Crimson: Red
So I finally got some Crimson in my collection! And I only had to go all the way to South Carolina to get it. While I would like to say I went all the way to South Carolina to buy just one album, I actually had to go there for work purposes, but none the less, I found an awesome record store near by and went nuts (Pappa Jazz in Columbia, SC.) Before this week is over I foresee myself spending around $100 in there. If I were rich, I would probably end up spending $1,000. They had an amazing selection of some of the greatest albums of all time, including Dylan's Bringing it All Back Home, Yes' The Yes Album, Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and so much more. All of which, I purchased... For the sake of me not wanting to take pictures of every album, I am only posting King Crimson's Red. Unfortunately that was the only Crimson in the mix, but regardless, it's one of their best works, and it's certainly better than anything post Red.
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I don't have my camera on me.

Alright, way to go!
That image would make an amazing painting too!
I've gotta go today, lookin' for Morrison Hotel...
Daniel - I have The Soft Parade and LA Woman from my parents but not Morrison Hotel...
Oh, jeez, thanks Jeff! I wouldn't take your records from your parents! That's too cool that they had them!
I didn't find it today locally, but I've got 'til Christmas...
Thanks for the thought, man!
Probably my favorite Crimson album. Not my favorite cover ... but the music is their most solid hard rock.
Ahh! Red. Outside of 'Court of...' this is my favourite Crimson album. I remember playing it at full volume with my flatmates in shared accommodation during the late 70s. I bet the neighbours were pleased!
Music Obsessive - This is such a great album to rock out to. Court is definitely my favorite and this might be in a tie with Larks Tongue and In the Wake of Poseidon. It's so hard to choose!
