The Royal Scam 
Steely Dan - vinyl

This a 2nd copy I bought as the deadwax contains the initials of Allen Zentz, 'AZ' - with a tiny flower. This is on the orig. yellow concentric ABC label. It has great bass and SQ all through the range.

That's not the Lake of E, L and P fame, is it?

Indeed it is.  The one and the same.

"Court" is much more accessible than "Starless."  You'll probably like the other early Crimson: In the Wake of Poseidon, Lizard, and Islands. My fave from the "Starless" period is "Red."

Larks' Tongues in Aspic
King Crimson - flac

Larks Tongue...

Well you are certainly not taking the easy road to Crimson fandom.  Brilliant, but difficult.

Incidentally, King Crimson albums are not one-listen-and-you're-sold records.  They require the listener to work to appreciate the nuances and subtlety (or lack thereof in Lark's Tongue's case).

Example:  I LOVE "Discipline," but it took me a couple years before I fully apprecited it.

Well, heard Lark's Tongue last night for 1st time and loved it.

It's the 1st album I posted I have to go back to and relisten to, but after the othe KC albums I just acquired.

Liking it!

Freaken RAIN drops. Joey Defrancesco Live at the Five Spot, then Sonny Rollins Plus Three, It is Jazz day . The Blues would be too simple on this rainy day.

Larks Tongue and Lizard are definitely the older and more spacy side of KC. If you want to go a little harder then I would suggest the following, in the following order:

- Red
- Starless and Bible Black
- The Power to Believe

If you like the spacy side, then the next follow-ups should be:

- In the Court of the Crimson King
- Islands

Thanks Bob, read further back and it was my purchas of In the Court............  and Starless...... that led AZ to make suggestions about others.

I loved Court, jury out on Starless.

Both of you guys put a star on Lizard, have to check if Bill brought me that one next.

EDIT: GEEZUSHKRIST! Just listened to Lizard, such a noob at KC. Let's see what else Santa Pumpkin brought.
