KING CRIMSON - LARK'S TONGUES IN ASPIC (ILPS 9230)
Brilliant album by one of the best prog bands the world as known from 1973
This is the rare first UK press on the pink rim label with, original pinched corner sleeve and A-2U B-2U matrices
The sleeve is in EX+ condition
The labels are in EX+ condition
The inner is in EX condition
The vinyl is in a strong EX condition, close to EX+(one tiny non sounding scuff, and very light sleeve removal hairlines under lights)
The audio is EX to EX+ (light occasional surface noise in the quite parts) rare for this pressing as it is normally awful audio.
The matrices are A-2U B-2U
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might 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 and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, 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, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
As well as the above grades, Near Mint is often used as well; this is really for a record that appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner and is assumed to have been played by them. For records which appear to fall between the accepted grades, + and - are also often added to the grading.
