King Crimson Releases “Elements Tour Box Set 2018”

Each year since 2014, King Crimson releases a box set of live and rare recordings from the band’s history. The Elements Tour Box 2018 follows suit with tracks taken from rehearsals, live performances, studio recordings, alternate takes, and more with several clips that have never been released.

The two-disc set features music from the band’s entire career and has something from every lineup including every bassist: Greg Lake, Gordon Haskell, Boz Burrell, John Wetton, Tony Levin, and Trey Gunn. In addition to the music, a booklet has sleeve-notes, photos of memorabilia, plus information the band’s current tour and lineup.

The Elements Tour Box 2018 is available now through Amazon and the King Crimson website.
