ORIGINAL JAPANESE PRESSING OF KING CRIMSON - LIZARD - LP - W/ OBI, INSERT, ETC. - NEVER PLAYED, BRAND NEW!    PRICE REDUCED!!
LOOKS LIKE IT WAS ALMOST PRODUCED YESTERDAY - PERFECT LP, SLEEVE, OBI + INSERT - IT'S GORGEOUS!

I worked in record stores as a teen starting in the early 1971, and have had this remarkable psych classic 1st LP for nearly 50 years...she's NEVER been played, as I already had one at home. These LP's came in the front door + went out the back one with me by days' end, such was my love for all things Crimson. Regrettably, I was off the day this came into stock, so it has a price sticker on it (see pic2), I left it there so I didn't scratch the sleeve trying to remove it...there is some slight rubbing on the spine (the early Japan pressings were silk-screened covers, making them delicate to wear).

***(I never stored my LP's in the record sleeves; hence no splits. Covers always in plastic sleeves, records always in rice paper + plastic sleeves; sure I'm nuts, but that's EXACTLY what you want when you're looking for rarities such as these.) Think Phil Hartman (RIP) as the anal-retentive chef from SNL when SNL mattered...that's me.

 NO SPLITS IN COVER, NO FADING, NO SCRATCHES, NO FUNKY, MOLDY ODORS, HOLE PUNCHES, MOISTURE DAMAGE, PEELING, NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM ITS  CLASSICAL PROG-ROCK,  MAGESTIC + MAGNIFICENT  MELODIC  GLORY. THE 3RD LP FROM THE ONLY PROGRESSIVE BAND THAT TRULY MATTERS ANYMORE...AND IS STILL OUT THERE MAKING GLORIOUS MUSIC WITHOUT EMBARASSING THEMSELVES...sorry if you disagree. ( I USE GOLDMINE GRADING, AS I WAS A CONTRIBUTER AS WELL AS A SELLER IN GOLDMINE FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS...).
It's listed as new, cause it's NEVER been played, and Japanese LP'S were never sealed. Ever...I worked in the music industry for years as a player, writer, critic + occasional producer for small labels + soundtrack work. Now I'm old + creaky...but I was also an associate of Robert Fripp during the 80's. 
See pics, ask questions - I'm here to assist. Plenty of pics from all sides so you can see what I mean when I call it a gem. 
(I have over 4,500 records that have been in climate-controlled conditions all through the years, and around 175 to 200 are still sealed, mostly all 60's, mostly psych, pop and Beatles, Crimson or related, so you might want to add me to your favorites, as I'll be listing several hundred over the next few months. I'm a huge collector, and it's time I downsized some of my collections).  
MORE CRIM BEING LISTED - JAPANESE LP's + 45's, Promos from Argentina, Japan, UK, US, 12"s, rare Picture sleeves, etc. - Holla if you're looking for something in particular - if it's Crim, I probably have it somewhere in my Fortress of Solitude. No Joke...
ALWAYS OPEN TO REASONABLE OFFERS...REASONABLE BEING KEY. (HINT: 40-50% IS NOT REASONABLE...).
I CAN SHIP MEDIA RATE AT $5.00, Priority at $13.00 - YOUR CALL...
I have ALL Crimson LP's from Japan, up to the '3 of a perfect Pair' LP - AND am open to combined purchase discounts - please inquire.
THANKS for your interest!
