Even if the liner notes detailed how to survive on the island, I'd rather have
the KC......
>Hell, I'd be hard pressed to pick 10 King Crimson CDs to wash up with! ;-)
I'd pick one of the recent compilations that features the Belew-era KC, then
fill the rest with Todd Rundgren and his related bands. I'd also have to
include
the Psychodots' "Official Bootleg" as well.

I've got my Billy Bragg & Wilco "Mermaid Avenue" that Nat sings lead on a
track or two - more than enough for me.

There's a joke here, but I'm staying above it.....this time.... ;-)

I still wish I'da made it down to Bogart's when they were there. :-(
