RECORD STORE DAY 2026 RELEASE. EDITION OF 2,000.

STARTING THE DAY WITH 6 COPIES.

200g BLACK VINYL 2xLP


"Live King Crimson multi-track recording of live set from June 29th, 1974, at Penn State University. Available on vinyl for the first time, exclusively for Record Store Day 2026. 2LP set cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and pressed on 200-gram audiophile vinyl. Gatefold sleeve with new sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith. To coincide with the releases of "Starless & Bible Black" in March 1974, King Crimson set out on a run of shows that many fans consider to be that line-up's peak with the late music critic John Kelman (All About Jazz) describing them as being at their "heaviest and most guitar-centric version of Crimson to date" where "even 24 hours represented a significant difference in how this group approached form-based material". In the final week of June, as the band neared it's conclusion as a live act, four of these concerts -including the Asbury Park show from which much of the original 1975 released "USA", single live LP was derived - were recorded to multi-track tape but, with the exception of that release, lay unreleased until the 1992 assemblage/mix & compilation of "The Great Deceiver" boxed set by Robert Fripp & David Singleton which was centred around those performances. In the notes to that set Robert Fripp described the band's 1974 tour as a period of "balanced disarray" characterised by "chaotic and intense" performances and "powerful, almost brutal improvisations".With the rapid growth of CD in the 1980s came an equally rapid growth in bootlegging and by 1992 there were over 120 different King Crimson bootlegs - many focusing on poor quality recordings of the 1973/74 touring band whose reputation among fans and influence on a generation of musicians continued to grow. The first pressing run of "The Great Deceiver" sold out within weeks & was re-pressed by DGM in the same format before being split into two double CD sets in the early 2000s. The release also did much to re-establish King Crimson's critical reputation, especially in the UK. Of the four multi-tracked concerts, Penn State was a last minute addition to the schedule and required gruelling additional journeys there and back, book-ended, on the original tour schedule, by the geographically easier Asbury Park, New Jersey on the 28th and Providence, Rhode Island on the 30th, leaving audiences then & since, grateful for the band's willingness to use a 'rest day' for an unplanned performance.. Despite the travel complications, the Penn State gig featured two of the best improvs from this tour - Is There Life Out There? and It Is For You But Not For Us, which sounded, in many respects, no less fully composed than the recently released Fracture or the yet to be recorded Starless. For most attendees, the majority of the material would have been heard for the first time, not an uncommon feature of King Crimson gigs in that period, though unthinkable for most bands today. Long requested by fans for a vinyl release, Penn State is being made available on 200-gram double vinyl for the first time exclusively for Record Store Day in April 2026, '1974 Penn State University' also includes the recording of 21st Century Schizoid Man from the band's Central Park gig 2 days later which was to be this line-up's last incarnation before becoming a trio to start recording the 'Red' album."

Perfect for keep-away
Size: Large Size 3, Color: Red-Blue
I purchased one of these for my pup and he has a ball throwing it up in the air and chasing it. Handy for something they can play with alone.

Belgian Malinois
Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches, Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches
Any toy that last over 2 days with a Belgian deserves 5 stars. I purchased this for my pup's 2nd birthday. She loves it. Within in 24hrs all the tabs were chewed off but the ball itself is still holding up. She plays volleyball with it, catch, Chase, and chews on it. It is going on a month and it is still around. Thank you. It is difficult to find a toy that lasts with a Belgian and they are hyper dogs that need toys.

A MUST for busy dogs!!
Color: Green, Size: Medium
The tags are a hit! My border collie entertains herself with this ball. The longer black tag is PERFECT for her to grasp it and fling it in the air.

He loves his new ball
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
My German Shepherd loves it. The only issue we had is that he managed to tear the black handle off within 5 minutes, so we just ended up cutting it completely off. Other than that he loves it.
