A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson is an excellent overview of the legendary progressive/psychedelic group, containing a wide variety of tracks from 1968 through 1974. One will notice that it was compiled by Robert Fripp himself in 1976. The inclusion of a rare and rough (although sprightly) Giles Dyble Giles Fripp version of I Talk to the Wind from 1968 AND the accompanying scrap-booklet are the best features of this release. They alone are worth the hiked up prices spotted within collectors circles and at most collector record stores. The booklet contains a list of every gig King Crimson performed from 1969-1974 with the omission of the surprise Wolverhampton gig of 1971, and a ton of pictures, many of which haven't seen the light of day anywhere else since then. There are rare photographs of the '69 incarnation on stage and in transit during tours, some capturing the brief 1970 incarnation with Haskell, Tippett and McCulloch, many from the 71-72 line-up at Hyde Park, and some really neat pictures of Jamie Muir and his battery of instruments on stage with the band dressed in his animal skins circa late 1972. Plus, the album's tracking selection is really fluid, as purposely laid out by King Robert Frippp:

  • 8'52 ~ Epitaph
  • 3'36 ~ Cadence and Cascade
  • 5'27 ~ Ladies of the Road
  • 3'15 ~ I Talk to the Wind
  • 6'18 ~ Red
  • 12'17 ~ Starless
  • 4'38  ~ The Night Watch
  • 2'52 ~ Book of Saturdays
  • 1'14 ~ Peace - A Theme
  • 2'43 ~ Cat Food
  • 3'30 ~ Groon
  • 2'09 ~ Coda from Larks' Tongues in Aspic pt. 1
  • 2'24 ~ Moonchild
  • 5'36 ~ Trio
  • 9'21 ~ In the Court of the Crimson King
