Three of a Perfect Pair is an album by the band King Crimson, released in 1984. It was noted for being quite clearly divided into two distinct sides: the first side featured the more accessible tracks; the second side contained King Crimson's more experimental offerings. This was assumed to be somewhat of a concession to fans of King Crimson's non-experimental music, such that one could listen to the listener-friendly tracks on one side, and ignore the other side, instead of having to skip around through an album to avoid the experimental songs. Tracks 10-15 were not featured on the original release of the album, but were added for the 2001 remaster.
The three last tracks (remixes) were, in fact, available in separate vinyls from the single Sleepless
