Technically you are correct but Red was a snapshot of a band in the process disintegrating. David Cross left and only appears on one track. Fripp brought in guest musicians including the return of Ian MacDonald, who was slated to rejoin the band had they carried on. There was no Red tour. None of the material was performed live until KC reformed and performed the title track on the Discipline tour. The followup to Red was the posthumous live album USA that featured Eddie Jobson overdubbing David Cross' parts in the studio. After this Fripp left the music business for a brief period until he got dragged back in by David Bowie and Peter Gabriel. -
From late '73 through July '74, wasn't KC a trio? There are now a lot of officially released CD's and BD Audio's of that period, which although with only a limited repertoire they do manage to play a lot of different music, almost all very powerful. But I agree, it was too short-lived to be a reasonable consideration for this list.

I don't know about "best" but May Blitz, particularly their first album, and the track "I Don't Know" is kick-ass. Drummer was Tony Newman, who later worked with Jeff Beck. This recording is "in the room"- hard, unrestrained psych guitars. It's one of the great Vertigo Swirls from the UK.Comment
