Three of a Perfect Pair is the tenth studio album by English progressive rock band King Crimson, released on 23 March 1984 in the UK by E.G.

[6] American hip hop duo Gang Starr would sample "Dig Me" on "Words I Manifest (Remix)" from their 1989 debut album No More Mr. Nice Guy.

[citation needed] According to Fripp, the artwork is “a presentation of a reconciliation of Western & Eastern Christianity...the front cover has the two elements, representing the male & female principles.

The Left Side sports four of Adrian Belew's poorer songs and a self-derivative instrumental; the flip is nearly all-instrumental, nearly free-form, nearly brilliant...apparently the Frippressive 'discipline' that forged the critically acclaimed pop/art synthesis of the first two latter-day Crimson albums is not a permanent condition.

"[14] A 5.1 surround sound mix of the album by Fripp and Steven Wilson was released in October 2016 for the band's 40th Anniversary Series as a standalone CD/DVD package and as part of the On (and off) The Road (1981–1984) box set.
