This CD stands out as one of the sharpest and most articulate soundboard documents from the band's Fall 1972 UK tour. The Oxford performance catches the legendary quintet displaying immense musical cohesion, backed by a stellar frequency balance for an archival tape source. The crown jewel is a breathtaking rendition of “The Talking Drum,” where the rhythmic tension built by Bruford and Wetton reaches a truly hypnotic frenzy. Jamie Muir’s unpredictable percussion layers and David Cross’s sharp violin stabs create a deeply captivating, ritualistic atmosphere.

Description
[Machine Translation] In 2019, King Crimson will celebrate the 50th anniversary of its debut. 50th anniversary project introducing classic and rare recordings from The King Crimson Collector's Club, which has a vast collection of recordings from its debut in 1969 to the present day! A memorable night when the complete version ("Sun and Shiver Part 1") was first recorded! The Sun and Fear Crimson's first UK tour, recorded in the middle of the tour. It is an audience recording, and the sound quality is not so good, but it is still listenable among the 1972 tour recordings. It was included in the "Sun and Fear" box set, but this is the first time it has been released as a standalone recording. The most significant feature of this day is that the coda part of "Sun and Fear Part 1" is finally completed! This is a precious sound recording that captures the moment of the completion of the theme song of this period, which is a masterpiece of what this lineup was aiming for in a single song. The 14-minute version, which is much longer than the album version, features many solos that cannot be heard on the album version, and despite the imperfect audience recording, it radiates an intense energy. The improvisation of the day was a slightly different pattern from the previous ones, in which Fripp's classical and ethnic guitar part was overlaid by Cross' violin, and Wetton, seeing the flow, put the bass part, which played the role of a cello part in a string quartet, on top of it. This is a slightly different pattern from the previous ones. This is an impressive improvisation that shows the flexibility of this lineup and the depth of their musical backgrounds, even though it is still in its infancy.

Description in Japanese
コレクターズ・クラブ 1972年11月25日 ニュー・シアター・オックスフォード・イングランド / キング・クリムゾン
2019年、デビュー50周年を迎えるキング・クリムゾン。1969年のデビュー時から今日至るまで膨大な音源を有するザ・キング・クリムゾン・コレクターズ・クラブから定番音源、レア音源を紹介する50周年記念企画! 完成版「太陽と戦慄 パート1」が最初に記録された記念すべき一夜! 太陽と戦慄クリムゾン初のUKツアー、中盤の音源。オーディエンス録音で音の抜けは今ひとつながら、1972年ツアー音源の中ではそれなりに聴ける音質。『太陽と戦慄』ボックスには収録されていたが、単体としては初登場! この日の最大の特徴は「太陽と戦慄 パート1」のコーダ部分が遂に完成! このラインナップがどういう音楽を目指しているのかを1曲の中に詰め込んだこの時期のテーマ曲とも言える名曲が遂に完成した瞬間を捉えた貴重な音源だ。アルバム収録版よりもはるかに長い14分尺の中にはアルバム版では聴けないソロもふんだんにフィーチュアされ、オーディエンス録音という不完全な音源にも関わらず強烈なエネルギーの放射が体験できる。またこの日のインプロヴィゼーションはフリップのクラシカルかつエスニック・テイスト溢れるギター・パートにクロスのヴァイオリンが重なり、流れを見てとったウェットンが弦楽四重奏におけるチェロ・パートのような役割を果たすベースかぶせ、たおやかに進行していくこれまでのパターンとは少し異なる変化球パターン。インプロヴィーゼーションでは発展途上にある時期だが、このラインナップのフレキシビリティと音楽的素養の懐の深さを示した印象的なインプロヴィゼーションとなっている。
