I want to know what dumbass would get rid of "In the Court of the Crimson King" CD
My local indie record store buys & sells used CD but most of the time the selection of used CDs for sale are usually rare pickings of good music. I mean how many copies of Aerosmith's "Pump" can one store be forced to by back and resell?

But there it was - a used copy of "In the Court of the Crimson King". Mind you I have this on Vinyl and bought the downloaded version. But I wasn't gonna let this scared guy stuck in there between the Kinks "Give the People What they want" and some band I never heard of before but happens to have King in the title

24. But I do! That's the nut of it!
That's where you get lost with your joke, with a fella like me who actually has the finest sense of humor you'll ever-- oh hell, nevermind. It can't possibly be worth it...

4. I just saw Fripp in concert last week
he made it a point to hide behind his speaker system.

I also found it amusing that during the encore he actually stopped the guitarists after a few measures and made them start over again.

But the man has skillz

7. I'm gonna do that but....
there are some things I never get rid of.

That copy of Color Me Badd's Greatest Hits - yeah, it's a goner
Poison's Greatests Hits - say goodbye

King Crimosn - I keep and treasure those!

8. My dad used to crank that album when my mom left the house.
I remember hiding under the coffee table because it was so scary.
Now it's just scary cool!

12. Saw 'em
I saw Fripp in 1981, doing Frippertronics

It was in a place with bar tables in the front of the seats. He came out and danced with some woman who was sitting at one of those during the warm up act. He is frenetic until he gets behind his guitar.

14. this is an excellent record/CD
one of my husband's favorites.


I agree - but it probably isn't to everyone's taste. Also, maybe it has some grunge on it, and they were too lazy to clean it....
