Musical duo Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp return with a vibrant and colorful reinvention of their style

King Crimson, the pioneering British progressive rock band, has announced the reissue of two of their most influential albums - "In The Wake of Poseidon" and "Lizard." Originally released in 1970, these albums will be available as two-disc CD and Blu-ray sets on October 24, via DGM/Panegryic.

Robert Fripp, the band's founding member and guitarist, believes that "Lizard" is the most experimental rock record ever made. He considers it an album that was too big for stereo to contain, due to its extraordinary work in fusing free jazz with progressive rock. The reissues of both albums will feature new mixes in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA, surround, and Hi-Res Stereo, mastered by Steven Wilson. Additionally, "Lizard" will be available on 200g vinyl, in addition to CD and Blu-ray.

"In The Wake Of Poseidon" and "Lizard" will also include new Elemental Mixes of selected tracks in Hi-Res Stereo, created by David Singleton. The reissues mark a significant milestone for King Crimson fans, as they will now have access to these classic albums in high-quality formats.

Meanwhile, Fripp and his partner, Britain's most beloved entertainer Toyah Willcox, have released a new episode of their Sunday Lunch series. In this episode, they discuss the upcoming reissues and share their insights on the groundbreaking music of King Crimson.

Interestingly, the duo has covered the song "Yummy Yummy Yummy," originally made famous by the American bubblegum pop outfit Ohio Express. In their version, Frippcox brings new levels of greatness to the song, with a vibrant performance featuring day-glo hairpieces and eye-catching metallic clothing.

Unfortunately, the search results do not provide information about the release dates for new editions of "In The Wake of Poseidon" and "Lizard." Fans are advised to keep an eye on King Crimson's official website for updates on the release dates and other related information.

In conclusion, the reissues of "In The Wake of Poseidon" and "Lizard" are highly anticipated by King Crimson fans. With their groundbreaking fusion of free jazz and progressive rock, these albums continue to push the boundaries of music, even after nearly five decades since their original release. The new mixes and Elemental Mixes, coupled with the vinyl release of "Lizard," promise to deliver an immersive listening experience for fans of the band.
