{"product_id":"king-crimson-lizard","title":"King Crimson - Lizard [ Vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"480\"\u003eKing Crimson's \u003cem data-start=\"55\" data-end=\"63\"\u003eLizard\u003c\/em\u003e isn’t just an album—it’s a surreal, jazz-rock fever dream. Released in 1970 as the band’s third studio effort, this record takes a daring detour from the symphonic prog of \u003cem data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"270\"\u003eIn the Court of the Crimson King\u003c\/em\u003e into more experimental, avant-garde terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"40\" data-end=\"480\"\u003eWith only Robert Fripp remaining from the original lineup, \u003cem data-start=\"375\" data-end=\"383\"\u003eLizard\u003c\/em\u003e stands as a bold reinvention fueled by jazz virtuosity, ornate compositions, and cryptic lyrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"482\" data-end=\"935\"\u003eOpening with the haunting “Cirkus,” the album immediately plunges into shadowy textures and shifting time signatures, setting the tone for what’s to come. “Indoor Games” and “Happy Family” push the boundaries even further, with Keith Tippett’s free-form jazz piano and Mel Collins’ swirling woodwinds adding chaotic beauty. Jon Anderson of Yes even makes a guest appearance on the title suite, lending his ethereal vocals to the 23-minute epic “Lizard.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003eThe album is infamous for being both challenging and mesmerizing—a record that splits listeners but rewards those who dive deep. This edition preserves the lush, layered production that makes \u003cem data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eLizard\u003c\/em\u003e such a sonic labyrinth. It's jazzy, it’s weird, it’s theatrical, and it’s 100% unapologetically King Crimson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1404\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFor fans of cerebral prog rock or anyone looking to explore Crimson’s more eccentric side, \u003cem data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1348\"\u003eLizard\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-spin. It's not just music—it's an experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54212964745545,"sku":"633367910318","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/8448902824241_85quality_2034587.webp?v=1776418000","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/king-crimson-lizard","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
