Starless (Super Deluxe Edition Box Set)专辑介绍
Limited to a single pressing run, Starless offers an in-depth overview of King Crimson's celebrated mid-1970's live line-up at its most exploratory.
Few bands have offered as much variety in material from night to night, and King Crimson's propensity for improvisation and fondness for playing its newest material - often unreleased on record at the time of performance - is legendary.

Review
'Starless completes the story of Crimson's until-now most heralded incarnation, bridging the gap between Larks' Tongues in Aspic and The Road to Red with the performances that led up to and then followed the release of Starless and Bible Black on March 29, 1974. For those interested in this King Crimson incarnation, it's an essential piece of the puzzle that is all the better for it by also sporting the most consistently excellent sound of any live Crimson box to date...' --Allaboutjazz.com
