KING CRIMSON IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING
UK 1ST PRESS FULLY COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL GATEFOLD, BLUE ISLAND INNER, AND PLAYS WITH EX+ AUDIO !!!!
THIS IS KING CRIMSON WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND THEIR BRILLIANT 1ST AND DEBUT ALBUM, RELEASED ON 10th OCTOBER 1969, AND A MONSTER OF AN ALBUM. PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, AND COMES FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
BEFORE YOU READ ON, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MENTION ABOUT SHIPPING. DUE TO THE TERRIBLE VIRUS, THERE IS UNCERTAINTY IN WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, AND SHIPPING COULD BE AFFECTED. I AM CONTINUING TO LIST, AND SHIP AS USUAL. IF YOU HAVE WON ANY LP'S, AND I AM UNABLE TO SHIP I WILL KEEP THEM VERY SAFE, AND SHIP WHEN THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. TAKE CARE AND BE EXTRA SAFE, AND IF YOU HAVE AN QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK ME, THANK YOU, ROSE .
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS :: ILPS 9111 AV2 12 1 :: ILPS 9111 B//3 11 7 .
ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL :: ILPS 9111 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J.DAY, LONDON. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME BITS OF LIGHT SHELF WEAR ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THERE IS ALSO A RUB ON THE SPINE CORNERS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A LOVELY CLEAN AND SOLID :: EX/EX- .
VINYL :: AS YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW, THIS ALBUM HAS LOTS OF QUIET PARTS, SO FINDING ONE WITH OUTSTANDING AUDIO IS QUITE RARE, BUT GREAT NEWS, AS THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT SURVIVED, AND IT PLAYS AMAZING. ON SIDE 1 THERE IS JUST A FAINT TICK ON THE RUN IN, SO NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO. WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST THREE VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, AND TWO VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VERY QUITE TRACK 1, AND THAT'S ALL, SO YOU CERTAINLY WILL ENJOY PLAYING THIS CLASSIC AUDIO !!!!
VISUALLY, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THE VINYL STILL HOLDS A LOVELY SHINE WITH JUST SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . AND THIS IS GRADING ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE AUDIO GRADE AS IT IS REALLY NEARER EX+ AND NO WAY OVER GRADED !!!!
LABELS :: LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .
ORIGINAL BLUE ISLAND POLYLINED INNER :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, WITH SPLAYED CORNERS, AND A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES :: VG+ .
WHAT AN ALBUM, JUST DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE !!!! AS MENTIONED THIS IS A VERY HARD ALBUM TO FIND WITH NICE AUDIO, DUE TO THE VERY QUIET PARTS ON SOME OF THE TRACKS, BUT THIS VINYL PLAYS LIKE A DREAM, AND WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING VINYL FOR THIS ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !! ROSE.
DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!!
IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE !!!!
