Album Description
Originally issued as a mid-price album in June 1972, Earthbound consists of highlights from Crimson's US tour from January to March of that year recorded on stereo cassette. Rejected for release by their American record company at the time, (due to poor sound quality) Earthbound was the first 'official bootleg' issued by a major rock group. It must have come as something of a shock for fans of their meticulous studio output to hear such a raw, aggressive sounding band. Declan Colan Music. 2005.

It Must have Come as Something of a Shock for Fans of their Meticulous Studio Output to Hear Such a Raw, Aggressive Sounding Band - Such Rawness Would Not Find Favour Until the Punk Explosion of 1976/77. The Stark Nature of the Album, Signposted by the Cover and Carried Through to the Recording Itself in all Its Audio Verite Glory, Provided Some Essential Clues as to What Made Crimson Such a Vital Live Attraction on the Circuit of the Time. One Track Each from the Band's First and Fourth Albums, a Single B-side and Two Lengthy Improvisations Showed that the Studio Recordings were Merely Points of Departure for the Live Band.
