Generic Thoughts on book covers

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I had no idea there *was* a new King Crimson - the last one I saw
was "Three of a Perfect Pair", which was held up as a great example
of the new medium, Compact Discs. I really must get out more. Thanks!

Peter.

P.S. Sorry, I just meant this to go to Dan'l, but the list isn't
set up that way, and I didn't notice till I'd sent it.
