Compilation album by King Crimson
Released 1976

A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson is a compilation (2LP set) by the band King Crimson, released in 1976. It's name is most likely derived either from the famous orchestral work The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra from composer Benjamin Britten or the 1960s television series Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, created by conductor/composer Leonard Bernstein.
