[edit] The King Crimson Collectors' Club

Limited release live recordings of concert performances, studio sessions and radio sessions. Originally designed as a business model, the KCCC was a program where fans could "subscribe" to the club by paying in advance for six releases. The revenue was then used to by DGM and Tone Probe to pay for the work of reviewing the archival recordings and doing the work necessary to remaster the work to acceptable quality levels. The program did not meet its financial goals, so it was eventually abandoned and converted into a standard release and purchase model.

They typically cost $9.95 for .mp3 versions, or $12.95 for .flac versions of each release.

The releases include extensive King Crimson and Robert Fripp live recordings, in addition to some previously unreleased studio material.
