bertrand Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) I have never bought any of these but am eyeing a couple. 1) Are they real CDs or CDrs? 2) I know some sound terrible. Are there any to avoid at all costs? Are there any that are essential? Edited February 15, 2022 by bertrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvopedz Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I recommend at least the CD that has the Live in Asbury Park recording. https://www.dgmlive.com/news/the-collectable-king-crimson-competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambrasa Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I have a soft spot for circa 1974 King Crimson so I've picked up some from this era. Got Toronto, Brescia, Pittsburgh, Heidelberg. All pressed CDs and great audio-wise (last three are recent Japanese reissues.) DMG Live web-site is a good place to decide which ones to get. https://www.dgmlive.com/albums/massey-hall-toronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted February 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Toronto is one of my radar, and also Zoom Club 1972 and Hyde Park 1969. Marquee 1969 was tempting but the reviews say the sound is awful. The ones available on the DGM site are pressed CDs? Japanese reissues seem to be a different series entirely.

gvopedz Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Asbury Park has the uncut versions of the songs "Asbury Park" and "Easy Money". On the USA album, the two songs were edited to about half their lengths. If you are a fan of Bill Bruford, I recommend the uncut version on the song "Asbury Park". Another description of the CD is here: https://www.dgmlive.com/tour-dates/367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
