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."

Whistle away my friend!
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 2
Love it! My dog loves it! The people at the dog park love it! The whistle is the best thing about these balls but the hard durable rubber and the denseness of the ball really make it fly. Let me quickly breakdown each of these: First the sound is like a...well, whistle coming from a human but oscillating and slightly different. It helps the dogs track where it goes and helps them find it better when it is getting dark (while flying of course, not when it is stationary). It barely makes a sound when throwing it with the wind but really howls when throwing it into the wind. This is why you get this ball and most everyone at the dog park perks up and wonders what that is, asks about it, and thinks it is very cool; which it is! Next is the durable rubber which doesn't have a single bite mark or split yet in 4 months of constant daily play for about 1 1/2 hours every day! The dog chews it as he brings it back and other dogs steal the ball and run with it while "killing" it perpetually and it has held up great. I don't claim this is going to be Kong ball durable but it is very well chosen rubber. Last is the denseness of the ball which really makes to go far in a chuckit launcher. One doesn't really notice how far this goes until going back to a tennis ball and realizing how short a tennis ball goes compared to this. The whistler ball, and presumably other chuckit rubber balls (glow, irregular bounce), go 30-40% farther when I throw then using the longest chuckit thrower. This is excellent and wears my retriever out even faster; not to mention the rippling muscles he has from sprinting that whole way! Overall I got both ball several months ago and we started with the blue ball and haven't had to touch the orange one yet. This is his goto ball at the park and it is the most popular ball, bar none, for all the dogs to steal. The bright blue aspect, the rubber aspect, the sound, and exclusivity of it make it coveted by dogs and owners. I might be gushing and glowing over this ball a bit much but I tend to do that when something unexpected ends up being part of your everyday life and blows you away at how wonderful it is.

Great for dogs that are chewers
Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 2
These are wonderful for our dog. The bright colors help us find them when our dog can't. The size is perfect to play fetch. Our dog will chew on it a bit and it stays together and does not fall apart. That is a big bonus because our dog is a chewer!

It's A Whistler!
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Style: Pack of 1
This Chuckit! Whistler Ball is basically a regular fetch toy that decided to become an annoying little teakettle mid-air. My dog goes absolutely nuts for it—every throw sounds like a tiny referee is shrieking "foul!" the whole way across the yard. He chases it harder than he chases the mailman, and bonus: I can actually find it in tall grass because it's screaming for help. Super bouncy, tough enough that he hasn't destroyed it yet (miracle), and now our walks sound like a low-budget horror movie.
