King Crimson -In the Court of the Crimson King vinyl 1969.

Year: 1969

Country: UK

Condition (Sleeve/Disc): EX+/EX

A beautifully preserved first pressing with the original sleeve included for provenance (the album is in a new inner sleeve to ensure it is kept in the best condition) as I purchased the album as soon as it became available in October, 1969.

The original, un-laminated cover is in excellent condition with very minimal edge/corner wear (please see pics). The inside cover is also in excellent condition and includes a personalised sticker that was inserted when I was a teenager. The spine is fully legible with no damage, tears, splits or other unwanted markings.

Side A is excellent throughout and, apart from minor static during the first part of Moonchild on Side B, due to the extremely quiet passage, the album has no pops, clicks or scratches.

The overall sound quality of this album is quite superb and the recording is clear, wide-ranging with great delivery and stereo imaging. Clear, vibrant sound permeates this wholly original recording.

Please see attached photos for verification of my description. This is a rare copy of a superb, dynamic album that was way ahead of its time.

This is a very rare copy of a true classic.
