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
