In The Court Of The Crimson King
Original Master Edition
The original credit Producded by KING CRIMSON FOR E.G.PRODUCTIONS, 'DAVID & JOHN' was
removed from the cover art of In The Court Of The Crimson King during the 1980s, when
it was released on CD. I was unaware of this at the time, as I had not been consulted. Nor
was this the action of Virgin Records. The decision to remove the accrediation can only,
therefore, have been made by EG.

David(Enthoven) left EG in 1977 and John(Gaydon) in 1970. As to why messers. S.G. Alder
and M.A. Fenwick, the EG partners between 1977 and 1995, might have wished to
remove the names of EG's founder members, their forerunners, from the album's sleeve
credits, I am uninformed.

It feels appropriate that credit is restored the two men who established EG as a player
within the music industry, to coincide with the release of the 24 bit remastering

In The Court Of The Crimson King was oliginally released in the UK on October 12th.
1969. It provided the foundation for the success of both the group, and its managers -
David & John.

Robert Fripp Discipline Global Mobile August 4th. 1999.

The original masters - with splicing tape still present between the various songs, and
crossfade between I Talk To The Wind and Epitaph yet to be created - were discoverd in
the Virgin archives in 2003.
