Ladies Of the Road is a two-volume Special Edition of live performances during 1971-72 drawn from the archives of the King Crimson Collectors’ Club.

Volume One: Ladies Of The Road is a series of performances beginning with the play-in shows at the Zoom Club, Frankfurt through to the final Earthbound tour of America.

Volume Two: Schizoid Men is a compilation of sax & guitar solos played during performances of 21st Century Schizoid Man throughout its life.

King Crimson has often been accused of a capital offence in the annals of Prog Crime: the endless guitar solo. Who cares that prosecutors had not listened to the band? Schizoid Men is one approach to offering a plea of guilty, on the basis of manipulated evidence long after the events. Extended soloing by Mel Collins is not, in my book, any kind of crime at all. Rather, an instruction in performance by a young master.

The jury is still out on this Crimson, based on insufficient evidence. Here is more evidence, although we have tampered with it.
