"The first size is accessible and the second is excessive"[edit]
Fripp's self-deprecating remark was made at a news conference at a record company, and can be viewed on the BBC documentary, "Robert Fripp: From New York to Wimborne" (or was it reversed?). It would be a nice addition to the article if reliably sourced. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 18:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The video is here: [1] and the remark in question begins at 4:20.
His exact words are, "Now, we have, I believe, a little taster of the left side of the King Crimson album, which is accessible; the right side is excessive."
The article spells "excessive" as "accessive," but Fripp doesn't seem to be coining a new word here (however amusing and typical of him that might be). He is simply going for a laugh from the record execs, which he gets. If he had meant to say "accessive," he would have enunciated it differently. I'll change the spelling, unless there is evidence elsewhere that Fripp meant to invent a word. Richard K. Carson (talk) 05:33, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to remove the rating for Three for a Perfect Pair since the review is for another album (meaning the rating is probably for that album, not for Three of a Perfect Pair). SomePersona (talk) 17:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I restored it. I have no clue what you mean by "the review is for another album" but the allmusic review linked is clearly for Three of a Perfect Pair. RF23 (talk) 09:35, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
