50th anniversary edition of King Crimson’s first non-album single ‘Cat Food‘. This is a four song single which features the original single version of Cat Food. A live version of the song recorded on September 14th, 2019 recorded in Toronto by the current line up. 2019 was the first live performance of the song since 1973 during the band’s Bill Bruford/David Cross/Robert Fripp/John Wetton era. It’s a really good version with Jeremy vamping on the keys and Mel blowing like a madman. Thumbs up for sure. Next up, is the 2019 alternate mix version that was put up last year during the weekly 50th Anniversary Download Series. This is it’s first vinyl appearance.
The final song is the original single b-side version of the non album song Groon. The cover is based on the original single cover, All in all, a nice release even though it’s on the short side at around 17 or so minutes.
