Язык: английский / English

In 1969 five young Englishmen calling themselves King Crimson altered the course of rock music, and despite a revolving-door lineup, the band has continued to innovate and inspire for more than fifty years. Fifty Shades of Crimson tells the story of this legendary band and of the unique English guitarist Robert Fripp it revolves around. With a deep passion for the music, author Pete Tomsett celebrates the achievements of Fripp and the array of incredible talent that has passed through Crimson, while not shying away from the many behind-the-scenes difficulties. Getting signed after supporting The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park, Crimson shot to fame with their debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King, becoming one of the most influential bands of that era and triggering the rise of prog rock. While going through countless personnel, including Greg Lake, Bill Bruford and John Wetton, rejecting Elton John and Bryan Ferry along the way, they have put out many highly acclaimed albums and to this day maintain a big international following.

...Интендант китаец в темносиней форме прикрепил палубный бюллетень на доску с морской картой и вынул из кармана карандаш. — Не хотите ли вы отметить это на карте? Паутина переплетающихся стрел с цифрами, указывающими силу ветра, разбегалась во всех направлениях по сетке параллелей и меридианов; подобно бильярдным шарам они отталкивались от борта западного побережья Африки и синими диагоналями устремлялись к американским берегам...
