Description
KING CRIMSON - IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING - EARLY UK PRESS ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL - A//3 B//3.
THE VINYL IS VERY GOOD, A FEW MINOR MARKS ONLY.
THE AUDIO IS AS CLOSE TO EXCELLENT AS IT GETS, THE USUAL LIGHT SURFACE NOISE IN THE VERY QUIET BITS BUT IT IS MINIMAL AND DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE EXPERIENCE.
THE LABELS ARE EXCELLENT, SMALL SET OF INITIALS SIDE 1 (SEE PHOTO).
THE ICONIC GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD, A SMALL AMOUNT OF EDGE AND CORNER RUB, PREVIOUS OWNERS NAME ON THE INSIDE (SEE PHOTO), A COUPLE OF SMALL WORN PATCHES AND TAPE RESIDUE ON THE BOTTOM AND SPINE.
NOT MINT BUT A VERY NICE COPY OF A MUCH SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM WITH MUCH BETTER THAN AVERAGE AUDIO.
CAT.NO. 1969 ISLAND ILPS-9111
MATRIX: A//3 B//3

I TRY TO GRADE MY RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE, I LISTEN TO EVERY RECORD I LIST AND GRADE ACCORDING TO THE PLAYBACK ON MY SYSTEM. I ALSO TRANSFER THE AUDIO TO MY COMPUTER VIA THE HEADPHONE SOCKET FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES, A CD OF THE AUDIO WILL BE SENT WITH THE ALBUM. I DO NOT SELL RECORDS WHICH JUMP OR STICK ON MY EQUIPMENT OR ARE VISIBLY WARPED. I USE THE FOLLOWING GRADING SYSTEM-
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS, ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.
EXCELLENT: THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MAY HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.
VERY GOOD: THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AN OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER AND CONTENTS WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS IS ACCEPTABLE.
GOOD: THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFED EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION ETC.
