Description
KING CRIMSON - Starless And Bible Black
Original UK pressing on the Pink Rim Island label (ILPS 9275 ) of King Crimson's "starless and bible black"
Matrix: ILPS 9275 A-3U/ILPS 9275 B-3U
The album is housed in the original fully textured gatefold sleeve "Printed in England by Robor limited".
Lovely copy - seen little play and delivers beautifully clean, crisp and bright sound throughout.
Condition:
Some cat must have liked this music as the spine has been scratched - see picture. But the condition of the record makes up for that:
The textured gatefold sleeve is in EX- condition and the record is MINT.
Starless and Bible Black is even more powerful and daring than its predecessor, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, with jarring tempo shifts, explosive guitar riffs, and soaring, elegant, and delicate violin and Mellotron parts scattered throughout its 41 minutes, often all in the same songs.
The album was on the outer fringes of accessible progressive rock, with enough musical ideas explored to make Starless and Bible Black more than background for tripping the way Emerson, Lake & Palmer's albums were used.
"The Night Watch," a song about a Rembrandt painting, was, incredibly, a single release, although it was much more representative of the sound that Crimson was abandoning than where it was going in 1973-1974. More to that point were the contents of side two of the original LP, a pair of instrumentals that threw the group's hardest sounds right in the face of the listener, and gained some converts in the process.
Side 1: The Great Deceiver / Lament / We'll Let You Know / The Night Watch / Trio / The Mincer
Side 2: Starless And Bible Black / Fracture
