The Discipline Global Mobile reissue of "Earthbound" offers a snapshot of King Crimson in a transitional phase, capturing a raw, live energy that presaged their later explorations.
- Recorded live on February 11, 1972, at Jacksonville, Florida, the album was a stopgap release to fulfill contractual obligations.
- The lineup for this recording featured Boz Burrell on bass and vocals, Robert Fripp on guitar, and Mel Collins on reeds, with percussion provided by the absent Bill Bruford.
- The album was initially released without the band's full endorsement, intended as a tour document rather than a formal studio statement.
King Crimson is a pioneering English progressive rock band formed in London in 1968. They are renowned for their complex compositions, experimental sound, and frequent stylistic shifts. This 1972 album found them exploring a harder, more direct sound after their previous work.
