Hi Neil
For those not already having King Crimsons music in their collections it is an opportunity to hear what one of the greatest bands got up to.
The record companies are in the case of KC, thankfully long gone, DGM being a independent label https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline_Global_Mobile
"DGM has aimed to be "a model of ethical business in an industry founded on exploitation, oiled by deceit, riven with theft and fueled by greed," according to Fripp.[4] Its policy is that its artists retain all copyrights; consequently, even DGM's corporate logo is owned by its designer.[5] The label was an early adopter of the digital download system. DGM's aims have been hailed as "exemplary", and the label has been credited with having expanded "the possibilities of experimental music" and having improved the environment for King Crimson.[6]"

I believe Fripp owns all the King Crimson masters so any profits from releases will go to the artist.

Which reminds me that there's a free King Crimson CD and an interview with Robert Fripp with the current issue of Mojo:

50 years !
Hard to believe.
Fripp strikes me as a good bloke as well as a top musician.
I'm glad he is making dough and hope other good guys can as well

50 years - gulp, I'm getting old. I saw King Crimson live doing Court of the Crimson King back in 1969 or was it '70?. (Redcar Jazz Club)
