Description
FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VERY FIRST (no earlier press) PRESSING OF THE RARE KING CRIMSON ALBUM WITH CORRECT INNER SLEEVE THAT ONLY CAME WITH THE A2 B2 ISSUE
SLEEVE.
VERY GOOD
SPINE IS STILL QUITE GOOD WITH CLEAR TEXT
INNER SLEEVE
ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE ONLY WITH A2/B2 ISSUE
NO SPLITS BUT SOME AGE BROWNING AND FEATHERING TO TOP EDGE
POLY LINING IS COMPLETE AND STILL STUCK TO THE SLEEVE.
VINYL.
VISUALLY IN NORMAL IS EXCELLENT WITH JUST A FEW SMALL SCUFFS SHOWING ON TRACK 1 SIDE 1 DO NOT AFFECT PLAYBACK
THERE ARE SOME MORE VERY LIGHT MARKS AND TINY SCRATCHES WHEN HELD TO THE LIGHT BUT ARE VERY SMALL AND BARELY NOTICEABLE.
PLAYBACK IS REALLY NICE AND I WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION TO SAY ITS EXCELLENT EVEN THROUGH THE TRACK MOONCHILD WHICH IS ALWAYS THE ONE TO TAKE NOTE ON WHEN PLAYING. IT PLAYS THROUGH WITH VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF CRACKLE AND I MEAN SMALL.
THE WHOLE ALBUM IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO
