I'm not generally a fan of outtakes but this is gorgeous! Just love Fripp's guitar and Judy's voice on what I consider to be the definitive version of "ITTTW". Thanks!

Have you got any information on the background of this version. I know it was recorded in a living room in 1968, but that's it lol.

Yes I do. It's in the booklet accompanying the KC comp A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson, which I have. I'll look it up tomorrow.

Brilliant. I look forward to what the book has to say on the matter in question.

Less than I thought, unfortunately!

7 June 1968: "Judy Dyble and Ian McDonald visit and join Giles, Giles and Fripp which becomes a quintet. Several demos are made at home, including 'I Talk To The Wind' and 'Under The Sky'."

There was more at our old home so there must be more somewhere on the internet. I'll see if I can dig it out. Wink

Thank you for gathering that information for me. That outtake is my favourite version of "I Talk To The Wind" by far - always has been for years.

Here's a curious (and curiously compelling) track I heard last Sunday while eating a boiled egg. It's here because I have no idea where else to post it! Over to you, Wikipedia:

[A] famous tune [by Penguin Cafe Orchestra] is "Music for a Found Harmonium", which [leader and guitarist Simon] Jeffes wrote on a harmonium he had found in a back street in Kyoto, where he was staying in the summer of 1982 after the ensemble's first tour of Japan. He wrote that after installing the found harmonium "in a friend's house in one of the most beautiful parts at the edge of the city," he "frequently visited this instrument during the next few months, and I remember the time fondly as one during which I was under a form of enchantment with the place and the time."

Stunning! I remember that song from when he first released it. I must give the BLW version a listen--I still have to hear everything from their album. RIP Carl and Harry.

I believe I am right in saying Carl never heard the final mixes. They were released in 2000?
