THE MAKING OF THE EDITION
Larks’ Tongues In Aspic was the first King Crimson album cover commissioned by Robert Fripp. The earlier albums had been under the art direction of the band’s lyricist Peter Sinfield, who left the band in 1972.
“The sun and moon cover is from a series of tantric symbols, the artist was Peter Douglas of Tantra Designs. The symbol itself addresses the union of opposites.” Robert Fripp
