King Crimson will release their Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind multi-disc box set on September 2.

The collection includes performances from their UK, Canada and Japan tours last year – featuring every song and piece performed by Pat Mastelotto, Bill Rieflin, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Tony Levin, Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp. They issued a bootleg of their live show at Toronto’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre earlier this year.

Their label DGM said: “How about a full live album gathering together the complete King Crimson setlist compiled from numerous nights and selected performances? In response to overwhelming demand for video of the group’s shows, the multi-disc set will come with selected in-concert footage.”

It will be available as a 3CD/1Blu-Ray set, and also in a limited edition 3CD/2DVD/1Blu-Ray version.

A full tracklist has still to be released, but King Crimson have issued a selection of tracks which will be included in the set. It can be viewed below.

Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind can be pre-ordered via Burning Shed.

King Crimson will kick off their European tour in September.
