Artist: Emerson Lake & Palmer

Title: Trilogy

Details: - Rare 1972 UK `Pink Rim` Issue on `Thick Vinyl` and what`s more it is in Mint - `Top Condition` with Beautiful Gatefold sleeve, in strict terms the `Pink Rim` issue is only moderately rare however the really early `Thick Vinyl` pressings on Pink Rim are harder to find and this is one of the best copies I have ever seen or heard. A very heavy pressing in `Top` cover with powerful clean sound and this is a difficult record with some very quiet passages but this one excelled on play-grade and was a delight to hear again: Matrix/Run out Grooves ILPS 9186 A-2U/ILPS 9186 B-2U Mother Stampers 3HA/2TC

I use professionally made packing with card stiffeners & record removed from album cover

Gradings: I use the standard UK gradings as set out in Record Collector Magazine below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Near Mint,  EX+, VG+ etc are acceptable additions to help `fine tune` descriptions for the buyer
