Three of a Perfect Pair

Encyclopedia : T : TH : THR : Three of a Perfect Pair


Three of a Perfect Pair is an album by the band King Crimson, released in 1984. It was noted for being quite clearly divided into two distinct sides: the first side featured the more accessible tracks; the second side contained King Crimson's more experimental offerings. This was assumed to be somewhat of a concession to fans of King Crimson's non-experimental music, such that one could listen to the listener-friendly tracks on one side, and ignore the other side, instead of having to skip around through an album to avoid the experimental songs. Tracks 10-15 were not featured on the original release of the album, but were added for the 2001 remaster.
