KING CRIMSON -

IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON

  ILPS 9127

 UK  1970

Machined matrices: A//1  B//1

The smashing follow-up to "In the Court of the Crimson King". This has many of the first album's elements and is a classic in its own right with the original Crimson crew.

Vinyl: VG+.  A beautiful well looked after vinyl in just stunning condition with a beautiful just pressed appearance.  I have played it in full on my high end system and the audio is great without  any jumps, clicks or sticks!! Just some light background static at times mainly at the start of side 1. Just a few hairlines are visible even under a strong light. Just the usual sleeve retraction traces.  A total joy to listen to and I am finding it hard to part with this smashing album. This album is extremely scarce in any condition at all, in this condition ... probably one of the last ones out there!

Sleeve: VG+. This is the original gatefold sleeve with the heavily texured finish! Later issues were smooth. Made of heavy card by E.J. Day Group Ltd. Amazingly there are NO creases. Just some light rubwear near the top right. The edges have storage wear. The spine is partially legible with wear. The inside gatefold is fantastic with no wear or writing. NO writing or damage. 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00.  Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
