In the Court of the Crimson King is the 1969 debut album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. The album reached #3 on the British charts. The album is certified gold in the United States. Musicologist Edward Macan notes that In the Court of the Crimson King "may be the most influential progressive rock album ever released".
Album cover design: Barry Godber (1946–1970), an artist and computer programmer, painted the album cover. Godber died in February 1970 of a heart attack, shortly after the album's release. It would be his only painting, and is now owned by Robert Fripp. Fripp had this to say about Godber. "Peter brought this painting in and the band loved it...The face on the outside is the Schizoid Man, and on the inside it's the Crimson King. If you cover the smiling face, the eyes reveal an incredible sadness. What can one add? It reflects the music."Content: The album consists of only five long songs. Most of these have additional titles given to sub-sections of the songs. The additional titles do not actually reflect divisions in the music. The main reason for them was to ensure that the group received the full amount of song writing royalties from their music publisher and record company. With the extra titles included the album can be seen as having a full 12 songs, as is typical for most rock albums. Since this album was recorded new rules have become standard in the music publishing business which take into account the length of the songs as well as the number of titles on an album.
