Rare original 1971 vinyl first press in thick gatefold...

The original co-creators of King Crimson unite... can it be as good as the 1969 monster they had created ? Not quite, but comes close and not far from it!

This album even sounds a little like King Crimsons first two legends, but it has a different approach : one that is more in popsike blends meets progressive rock and the main 2 tracks are 11 and 21 minutes long. This album is a mix between In The Court Of The Crimson King and The Beatles (White Album era),  quite a unique combination that was never reproduced. The sound, is of course, great, even many years later! The King Crimson stylings comes from the quite large variety of instruments used (quite effectively too) and the dreamy progressive passages. The Beatles sound comes from their lilting harmony styles & production craftings, parts in musical play but mainly from the voices;  very reminescent of that precise Beatles sound....so it's quite a mixture here...there are psych effects & heavenly atmosphereics along the way...certainly a 'heady' dose of goods for the unsuspecting listener...then the real joy is the fact that it grows with each successive play!

1. Suite in C including Turnham Green, Here I Am and others (11:15)
2. Flight Of The Ibis (3:11)
3. Is She Waiting? (2:36)

CONDITION: The gatefold cover is stiff and sound VG++, clean with just little bit of shelf wear starting, nothing much really, very small delete notch at top right...no bends, no seam splits, the gatefold is nice still and should look great in any music library.

      A cool addition to anyone's music library!
