Beat's Info:
Released as part of the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series, “Beat” was the band’s 9th studio album, originally released in 1982. It marked the first occasion where a King Crimson line-up had remained intact for a two album stretch and was also the first album by the band to employ a separate producer – Rhett Davies. The complex polyrhythmic musical textures of the ‘80s Crimson, the strength of the songs and the cohesion of the studio performances, all helped the album chart upon release in the US and the UK.
As with other albums in the King Crimson CD/DVD-A series, the CD features a new stereo mix by Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp, while the DVD-A features a 5.1 surround sound mix and high resolution of both the original and new stereo mixes. Also included is a rough album mix, video performance footage of two songs from The Alabamahalle, Germany, and the promo film for Heartbeat.

Three of a Perfect Pair's Info:
Released as part of the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series, “Three of a Perfect Pair” was the band’s 10th studio album, originally released in 1984. Having released two albums in a nine month period between October 1981 and July 1982, the album is the final part of the recorded trilogy begun with “Discipline” and “Beat”. From the pointillist minimalism of the title track through to the urgent rush of ‘Sleepless’ and the album’s closer ‘Larks’ Tongues in Aspic III’ – the only reference to the 1970s incarnations of the band – Crimson’s distinctive mixture of rock, electronica, funk and pure pop songs, ensured the group’s status as one of the most interesting and innovative bands of the decade.
King Crimson’s final album of the 1980s is augmented with extra tracks newly mixed for the 2016 edition.
As with other albums in the King Crimson CD/DVD-A series, the CD features a new stereo mix by Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp, including several additional tracks, while the DVD-A features a 5.1 mix and high resolution of both the original and new stereo mixes.
