    I remember at the time in 2009, Fripp said he couldn't find anything to improve on the original mix of Red, and that's why they would not do it. But in 2013, when they released the "Road to Red" box,...

    Problem is, that Talk CD-ROM uses old technology like Quicktime and (I think) Flash, which are not supported anymore. I doubt you'd be able to play it on a modern PC, even if you have a CD-ROM drive.
