In The Court Of The Crimson King was a huge chart hit on both sides of the Atlantic upon its release in 1969.  It marked the beginning of one of Rock music’s most innovative and unconventional outfits who would go on to release thirteen studio albums of consistently challenging and distinctive music. 
 
With a changing roster of personnel over five decades the one constant factor has been guitarist Robert Fripp. In 2019 as King Crimson tours the world celebrating 50 years they continue to defy expectations and push at the boundaries of what is possible in Rock music.
