King Crimson will soon release "The Road To Red", which chronicles the band's final tour in 1974 and their final release "Red" (the band disbanded and later reformed in 1980 with Adrian Belew). This release collects all 16 concerts and includes the studio version of "Red". 21 disks in all, with a retail price of $180. For Crimzoids only.

Here's the review from Amazon:

Now The Road To Red offers a comprehensive overview of this final tour and at last does justice to a group who were operating at the very height of their powers. Every soundboard quality recording known to exist is presented with audio fully restored, all released on CD for the first time. There are also five complete concerts, drawn from multi-track recordings, alongside the restored audio bootleg of the band's final show from New York and a new stereo mix of Red by Robert Fripp and Steven Wilson undertaken in 2012. A total of 16 concerts are featured across 20 discs, with the studio Red as the 21st CD. The set also features: A DVD containing a high resolution stereo presentation of USA (in all mixes) and the new stereo mix of Red 2 Blu-Ray discs containing the five full length multi-track concert recordings (newly transferred at the highest resolution available from the original analogue Dolby SR source mix-down tapes & presented in 24/192 DTS-HD master sound), new & original stereo versions of Red and the existing 5.1 multi-channel mixes of the album presented in 24/96 DTS-HD also feature on Blu-Ray.

These new deluxe limted-edition sets are the rage with collectors - take a look for the Neil Young archive sets my friend has been working on.

At $180.00 the band would have to spend an 8 hour day raking my yard.

Don't you have Mexican immigrants to do that? And are we talking a lawn or sand and sagebrush?

East Texas is forested, ( where it has not been cleared for farming, ranching or raped for fun & profit ) and grows some of the best grass for hay ( and likely smoking too ) in the State.

I do not work illegals.
