KING CRIMSON LP "IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING" Issued in the UK in 1969 on the Pink Island label Cat No. ILPS-9111. Gatefold sleeve has "Printed and made by E.J. Day, London" credit. Sleeve is in GOOD+ condition - generally presents well but has some edge wear, spine lettering is scuffed and patchy, there is a little penmarks inside gatefold and some general abrasions and wear, but still looks quite nice. The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers - ILPS 9111 A2124 and ILPS B//4111. Vinyl is extensively marked with surface marks and quite a few scratches and its playback is mixed - generally plays very well but there are some passages that have clear clicks and disturbance, especially on the quieter sections and more noticably on Side 2. So not the best copy but maybe acceptable as a filler copy.
Records are posted with sleeves and vinyl separated, including from any special printed inner sleeves (plain inner sleeve used), and posted in proper LP mailers using cardboard stiffeners. All records are played and visually inspected as part of grading.
