RECORD STORE DAY 2026 RELEASE. EDITION OF 2,000.

STARTING THE DAY WITH 6 COPIES.

200g BLACK VINYL 2xLP


"Live King Crimson multi-track recording of live set from June 29th, 1974, at Penn State University. Available on vinyl for the first time, exclusively for Record Store Day 2026. 2LP set cut by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering and pressed on 200-gram audiophile vinyl. Gatefold sleeve with new sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith. To coincide with the releases of "Starless & Bible Black" in March 1974, King Crimson set out on a run of shows that many fans consider to be that line-up's peak with the late music critic John Kelman (All About Jazz) describing them as being at their "heaviest and most guitar-centric version of Crimson to date" where "even 24 hours represented a significant difference in how this group approached form-based material". In the final week of June, as the band neared it's conclusion as a live act, four of these concerts -including the Asbury Park show from which much of the original 1975 released "USA", single live LP was derived - were recorded to multi-track tape but, with the exception of that release, lay unreleased until the 1992 assemblage/mix & compilation of "The Great Deceiver" boxed set by Robert Fripp & David Singleton which was centred around those performances. In the notes to that set Robert Fripp described the band's 1974 tour as a period of "balanced disarray" characterised by "chaotic and intense" performances and "powerful, almost brutal improvisations".With the rapid growth of CD in the 1980s came an equally rapid growth in bootlegging and by 1992 there were over 120 different King Crimson bootlegs - many focusing on poor quality recordings of the 1973/74 touring band whose reputation among fans and influence on a generation of musicians continued to grow. The first pressing run of "The Great Deceiver" sold out within weeks & was re-pressed by DGM in the same format before being split into two double CD sets in the early 2000s. The release also did much to re-establish King Crimson's critical reputation, especially in the UK. Of the four multi-tracked concerts, Penn State was a last minute addition to the schedule and required gruelling additional journeys there and back, book-ended, on the original tour schedule, by the geographically easier Asbury Park, New Jersey on the 28th and Providence, Rhode Island on the 30th, leaving audiences then & since, grateful for the band's willingness to use a 'rest day' for an unplanned performance.. Despite the travel complications, the Penn State gig featured two of the best improvs from this tour - Is There Life Out There? and It Is For You But Not For Us, which sounded, in many respects, no less fully composed than the recently released Fracture or the yet to be recorded Starless. For most attendees, the majority of the material would have been heard for the first time, not an uncommon feature of King Crimson gigs in that period, though unthinkable for most bands today. Long requested by fans for a vinyl release, Penn State is being made available on 200-gram double vinyl for the first time exclusively for Record Store Day in April 2026, '1974 Penn State University' also includes the recording of 21st Century Schizoid Man from the band's Central Park gig 2 days later which was to be this line-up's last incarnation before becoming a trio to start recording the 'Red' album."

Great glitter body spray
Color: Fairy-Diamond, Color: Fairy-Diamond
So cute. Came with extra glitter, I’m assuming lipgloss you can make into glitter lipgloss, a funnel to help pour the glitter. Or re load your spray. The spray performance is nice. Might stick better with some oil before hand? But I like it so far. Worked 6 hours and still had glitter on me for my photoshoot. I sprayed perfume and then glitter. There’s no odor. The amount of quantity of glitter you get seems good for the price. Durability seems good so far but like I said may need some oil or lotion first to help it stick all day.

Troll glitter
Color: Brandy-Rose
Do not spray too much! This glitter is so fine that it dispenses easily from the puff part and you can easily make yourself look like Poppy the troll. We had so much fun with this for prom

Glitter with staying power
Color: Rainy-Rainbow, Color: Rainy-Rainbow
Super fun and sparkly, the color is beautiful, it comes with 2 glue tubes with brushes that you use to rub the glue onto your skin in order for the sparkle to stick better and longer, made a heart shape on my arm, dries fairly quickly and washes off easily when you're done with it It sprays a fine layer and evenly, it's great for building on for more sparkle or to just have a light layer Even without the glue it lasts at least a couple hours with minimal shedding and light use, seems to have good longevity With 2 glue tubes, a refill tub, funnel and the glitter spray bottle I feel $10 is a great value considering everything you get with it, Overall I feel like it's a fantastic product and will buy again!
