I never got a copy so a new updated version is perfect for the music library.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I paid this this a while ago. I actually have a signed copy of the original hardback, that has dropped down in value with the new book, glad the new one is a hardcopy though. I picked up the new one too because I'm always Crimson starved and the revised updates are enough to pull me in! Sorry to hear they don't have a release date for the new book.

I’m halfway through my digital advance. Beyond additional material covering years after the first book, the entire thing has been revised, and for good reason. Sid’s first go was great and he proved himself a fine writer. But it’s nearly 20 years later, so (as you’d hope) he’s an even better writer. And it shows.
So this isn’t just an expansion, it’s a revision and, so far, a damn fine one at that.
A proper review will follow in the week leading up to release date, for anyone interested.

Will this book be available on Kindle? I don’t even remember how to read a physical book.
I read the sample chapter on the website. Really made me feel bad for David Cross. John Wetton really wanted him gone, it seems.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Sorry, no idea. I’ve not hit any images so far, so my as an e (watermarked) may just be text only. If I run across any I’ll let you know.
Also, I’ve just received permission to run an excerpt ftom the book, concurrent with my review. Great news, as I always like to do that, if possible.

Any word from Fripp on this newer edition? I remember he took some issue with some of contents when it was originally published. I concede this is from memory so I could be wrong about this.

Fripp didn't actually take any issue with the factual quality of the book. He did call it the "toxic tome" as a result of all the negativity (directed mostly at him) from former members of Crimson.
Sid Smith has been attached to DGM "officially" for a while now, so Fripp must have thought the book itself was pretty well done.

And it’s being published by Panegyric. Sid’s first book led to his being the band’s documentarian and in-house scribe. He has also co-curated all but one of the Elements Tour boxes released every year since 20@4.
So it’s no hyperbole to say he’s a Crimson insider, with more access to, well, just about everything related to Crimson. So the new book reflects that.

It would have been irresponsible of Sid to do anything but what he did, wrt Fripp. But the truth is, it paints a fuller picture of an enigmatic, eclectic and eccentric guy who has also been far more egalitarian a leader, especially with the current group, than most. And who refuses to accept anything less than the best from himself, and those around him.
I think he may have called it a “toxic tome” in jest...just my opinion.

I think Fripp is pretty self aware.
