PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

1969 ORIGINAL PRESSING IN THICK GRAINY GATEFOLD COVER -
FINAL COLLECTION COPY! .........................................................................
CLEAN ALL OVER ...potentially the BEST King Crimson EVER....
btw the Wake Of Poseidon 2nd LP is "right there" too!
.......................................................................
Yes indeed, the mellotron drenched Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson is, after 40 years, still a thing of beauty ...from the dynamic complex crunching layers to the sweeping climactic atmospherics, the dramatics are in full bloom everywhere in this spectacular work of art ...
Almost unarguably the first, most quintessential progressive-rock album ever, Court virtually came out of nowhere, and almost single-handedly defined "prog-rock" at its infancy. Taking "heavy rock" and "experimental psychedelics" to their extremes, and making use of some of the first truly textured "atmospheres" (fuzz paranoia in Schizoid Man, dreamy surreality in Wind, etc.), Fripp & Co. put progressive-rock on the map with this flawless, in-your-face album. In addition to introducing us to Fripp's schizo-paranoid madness, you can hear how much Bruford learned from Michael Giles. Court belongs to a small pantheon of albums -- an absolutely must-have.
21st Century Schizoid Man Mirrors (7:20) I Talk To The Wind (6:05) Epitaph (8:47) a) March For No Reason b) Tomorrow and Tomorrow Moonchild (12:11) a) The Dream b) The Illusion The Court Of The Crimson King (9:22) a) The Return Of the Fire Witch b) The Dance Of The Puppets CONDITION:
The cover: rated: TOP COPY : Very stiff all over, solid everywhere M- ... has bright original colors, no bends, no writing and no split seams - really almost one of the nicest copies we've had in some time
The vinyl: Rated: all smooth near M- overall looks really nice and plays VERY clean...even in those little quiet atmospheric parts...clean 1841 Broadway ATLANTIC labels too
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
