KING CRIMSON
"IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING"
An observation by KING CRIMSON...
HERE WE HAVE A QUITE SUPERB
U.K. ORIGINAL FIRST
PINK RIM (PALM TREE) PRESS...
OF THIS MAJESTIC SLICE
OF LEGENDARY PROG. ROCK...
SUPERB, ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS
& GREAT MUSICIANSHIP....
A TRUE MASTERPIECE....
GORGEOUS HEAVY TEXTURED
PINK RIM (RAISED AT EDGES)
PALM TREE LABELS...
THIS IS A TRULY VERY EARLY PRESS
OF THIS LEGENDARY ALBUM,
AS INDICATED BY THE STYLE OF THE
STAMPED MATRIX NOS.
ILPS + 9111 + A2 / ILPS + 9111 + B2
It is my considered opinion that this
deep punched early-style of matrix
suggests this to be, quite possibly
a first issue in a new style.
Definitely a very early issue.... and,
I find to be, a cut above other issues
in terms of weight, quality, detail and sound.
LOVELY EX+ VINYL,
THIS IS PRESSED
WITH NO SPACINGS BETWEEN TRACKS!!
VERY NICE CLEAN
Printed & made by E. J. Day London.
GATEFOLD SLEEVE ...
COMES WITH A PERIOD ORIGINAL...
(Foreign Patents Pending)
POLY LINED, DIE-CUT WHITE INNER SLEEVE
VERY CLEAN EX CONDITON...
As I understand, only a small number of the
early Island albums were pressed
with these heavily textured labels,
coming with similar characteristics
to the first pink pressings...
i.e. weight and feel
ANYWAY, THIS IS STILL A
TRULY LEGENDARY ALBUM,
TIMELESS MUSIC,
...ALL ROUND....CLASS!!!
VINYL CONDITION - EX+
TRULY VERY CLEAN CONDITION!!
FABULOUS FOR ITS AGE!
GREAT CHUNK OF UK PRESSED VINYL!!
VISUAL - .... VERY CLEAN...
FABULOUS UK PRESSING PLAYS THROUGH WITH LOVELY AUDIO.
JUST SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE EVIDENT IN SOME OF QUIETER MOMENTS.
NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL LISTENING PLEASURE!!
THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.
SLEEVE CONDITION - VG++
FIRST ISSUE E.J. DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE..
VERY CLEAN CONDITION,
ALL GRAPHICS AND TEXT CLEAN & STRONG IN DETAIL,
OPENING EDGES SHARP AND CLEAR OF TEARS...
SPINE FIRM WITH TEXT FULLY READABLE...
JUST SOME LIGHT SCUFFING TO CORNERS AND BOTTOM EDGES...
ALSO SOME LIGHT CREASING TO BOTTOM LEFT OF BACK & PARTS OF SPINE EDGE...
OVERALL SLEEVE IS ...VERY PRESENTABLE & LOOKS GREAT FOR ALL ITS YEARS!!

GRADINGS:
EXCELLENT - THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY.
V.GOOD - THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH.
