Live King Crimson multi-track recording of live set from June 29th, 1974, at Penn State University Available on vinyl for the first time, exclusively for Record Store Day 2026.
2LP set cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and pressed on 200-gram audiophile vinyl Gatefold sleeve with new sleeve notes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith.
To coincide with the releases of Starless and Bible Black in March 1974, King Crimson set out on a run of shows that many fans consider to be that line-upās peak with the late music critic John Kelman (All About Jazz) describing them as being at their āheaviest and most guitar-centric version of Crimson to dateā where āeven 24 hours represented a significant difference in how this group approached form-based materialā. With the rapid growth of CD in the 1980s came an equally rapid growth in bootlegging and by 1992 there were over 120 different King Crimson bootlegs ā many focusing on poor quality recordings of the 1973/74 touring band whose reputation among fans and influence on a generation of musicians continued to grow. Thus prompting the band to release their own multi tracked live performances.
Long requested by fans for a vinyl release, Penn State is being made available on 200-gram double vinyl for the first time exclusively for Record Store Day in April 2026, ā1974 Penn State Universityā also includes the recording of 21st Century Schizoid Man from the bandās Central Park gig 2 days later which was to be this line-upās last incarnation before becoming a trio to start recording the Red album.
