(X) THE YOUNG PERSONS` GUIDE TO KING CRIMSON
A Personal Selection Compiled By Robert Fripp For EG Records Ltd
http://www.discogs.com/King-Crimson-The-Young-Persons-Guide-To-King-Crimson/release/702357Примечание: Одним из интересных вопросов является вопрос о правильном названии альбома. Дело в том, что на обложке английского айлендовского издания ISLD 7 указано название "The Young Persons' Guide To King Crimson" , а на лейблах пластинок стоит надпись "A Young Person’s Guide To King Crimson". Как же хотел назвать альбом сам Роберт Фрипп, компилятор альбома?
Я просмотрел все имеющиеся у меня материалы на предмет поиска высказываний самого Фриппа в печатных источниках. Только один источник был найден с следующим комментарием Фриппа: During the sessions to assemble "The Young Persons' Guide To King Crimson" I listened to some of the original 8 tracks with engineer Steve Nye. (комментарий Фриппа в большом буклете к 4 CD – box "The Essential King Crimson: frame by frame", (p)&(с) 1991 Virgin E’G Records Ltd. KC BOX 1).
