Mr.
“Knights of Space” enters the record as live album. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Knights, Space and live can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Knights of Space” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Knights, Space and live provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1607107. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2008.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
