Like most of King Crimson's catalogue, "Red" has been re-released numerous times since 1974. First issued on Compact Disc in 1986, it has also been released as part of the "Definitive Edition" series in 1989, and the "30th Anniversary Edition" series in 1999. In 2009, "Red" was chosen, alongside "In the Court of the Crimson King" and "Lizard", to launch the "40th Anniversary Edition" series. As part of this series, each album is presented in a CD/DVD-A package, with new stereo and 5.1 surround mixes crafted by Steven Wilson. Unlike the other editions in the series, however, "Red" launched with no new stereo mix. In 2013, Wilson and Fripp created a new stereo mix for "The Road To Red" boxed set, and this mix was also issued separately as part of a 2CD package.
