Returns/Exchanges

We offer an Exchange Only Return Policy. We do not accept cancelations or exchanges on the following: Products benefitting charitable organizations, face masks, items tagged final run/sale, free or promotional items, any items damaged during shipping or opening, make-up, perishable goods, items washed, worn or unsealed, including vinyl/CDs that have been opened. 

Pre-Orders

Pre-ordering an album does not mean you'll receive it before the rest of the world. In fact, depending on where you live and the ship date, you may not get the album until after its official release date. All pre-order products will display an expected "SHIPS ON OR AROUND" date in the product description, which is subject to change, due to unexpected delays, beyond our control. Additional items purchased on the same ticket as a pre-order will not ship until the time specified in the description of the pre-ordered item.

Final Run

Items with the "Final Run" tag are not eligible for exchanges.  

Vinyl & Posters

Vinyl records and posters are pristine when packed. Please be aware we DO NOT issue refunds or replacements for minor cosmetic damage, such as corner dings, bends, split inserts, and so on. We pack our vinyl and posters securely and carefully in custom crafted boxes and tubes, but in some cases this type of wear is simply unavoidable during transit.

US Orders

Domestic orders take 1-2 business days to process, plus transit time.

International Orders

We ship just about everywhere. International orders take 1-2 days to process, plus transit time. Please note international shipments can often be unreliable and most delays happen at customs offices. ALL international customers are subject to the laws, duties and taxes of their destination country. Hello Merch is not responsible for any items lost, stolen or damaged during domestic transit.

USPS Media Mail

This method is offered to US customers as an old school budget service for vinyl, but highly discouraged, as it poses a greater risk for delays and damage. Hello Merch is not responsible for any items lost, stolen or damaged during domestic transit.

The largest in the series, Exposures is the ninth boxset release collecting King 
Crimson / Robert Fripp material from 1969 to 2008.

Featuring 32 discs (26xCD/3xDVD audio/3xBlu-Ray audio) presented in a 12” box with a 48 page booklet containing extensive notes by Sid Smith and Al Okada plus memorabilia such as tickets, posters, press releases and more. 

One of the most comprehensive boxed sets devoted to a single period of an artist’s 
career, Exposures features the complete collection of Robert Fripp’s studio and live 
solo material from 1977-1983, covering the period from the first Exposure sessions 
to the end of The League of Gentlemen and final Frippertronics concerts.

Steven Wilson mixes of Exposure (in two versions), Under Heavy Manners, The 
League of Gentlemen studio recordings and numerous unreleased tracks from the 
albums’ sessions appear in Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD 5.1 Surround and 24/96 hi-res 
stereo audio on Blu-Ray discs 1 and 3.

David Singleton mixes of God Save the Queen, Let the Power Fall and the Washington Square Church Frippertronics album appear in DTS-HD Surround (Quad/4.1) and in hi- res stereo ranging from 24/48 (WSC), 24/96 GSTQ) to 24/192 (LTPF) on Blu-Ray discs 1 and 3.

In addition, all editions and versions of Exposure (including previously unreleased), 
original masters of all of the albums from the period and a wealth of additional 
material, much of it previously unreleased appear on Blu-Ray in hi-res stereo audio 
on those discs.

Two further Blu-Ray discs present the complete DGM archive of Frippertronics 
loops, masters and concert performances - over 68 hours of music in 24/48 hi-res 
stereo

Three DVDs feature the main albums in 5.1, quad and hi-res stereo. Twenty five 
CDs present material including the earliest existing master loops, all of the albums in 
new Steven Wilson and David Singleton mixes, plus original mixes newly mastered 
and a number of studio and live discs featuring previously unreleased and/or music 
new to disc.

After King Crimson's dissolution in 1974, Robert Fripp embarked on a lengthy 
sabbatical away from the public eye. His relocation from Great Britain to New York in 
February 1978 marked his return as a producer, solo artist, and ‘wild card’ 
collaborator with an impressive roster of artists including Daryl Hall, Blondie, Peter 
Gabriel, and David Bowie. Fripp's first solo album, Exposure, was released in 1979. 

A further two solo records, Under Heavy Manners/God Save The Queen and Let The 
Power Fall followed, and in 1980 he formed The League Of Gentlemen. Described 
as a New Wave dance band, this led to King Crimson's reformation in 1981.
 
This set is a fitting testament to an intensely creative and radically diverse chapter in 
Robert Fripp’s career.
