ATTENTION KING CRIMSON,1970s PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND ISLAND LABEL COLLECTORS! HERE IS A 1970 2ND PRESSING OF A CLASSIC ALBUM BY KING CRIMSON: "IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING". ALTHOUGH THIS IS A 2ND PRESSING IT IS STILL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF ISSUE AS THE EARLIEST ONES HAVING THE PINK LABEL WERE CHANGED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE TO THIS PINK RIM DESIGN. ALSO THE GATEFOLD COVER IS PRINTED BY ROBOR LIMITED-LATER ONES WERE BY ERNEST J.DAY!
AN ORIGINAL 2ND PRESSING ISSUED ON THE ISLAND PINK RIM LABEL ILPS 9111 WITH A-4U/B-4U MATRIXES. LOTS OF BASS! THE DISC HAS GLEAMING SURFACES WITH NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER BUT THERE IS A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE ON THE 2ND SIDE WHICH OF COURSE CONTAINS PASSAGES OF TOTAL SILENCE OR HARDLY ANY SOUNDS AT ALL CUT AT A VERY LOW VOLUME WITH THE MAJORITY OF COPIES HAVING AT LEAST SOME SURFACE CRACKLE. THIS ONE'S SURFACE CRACKLE IS NOT VERY OBTRUSIVE AND INFACT THERE IS HARDLY ANY FOR MOST OF THIS SIDE. I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY ON SIDE ONE! THEREFORE MY STRICT AND SERIOUS GRADING OF EXCELLENT+++ CONDITION SHOULD GIVE YOU TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!. NO NASTY LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR! HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL CURVED EDGES ISLAND COMPANY INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS A FEW CREASES BUT NO SPLITS,WRITING OR REPAIRS.
THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME VERY SLIGHT EDGE WEAR BUT NO WRITING,CREASES,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
A LOW REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE BEARING IN MIND THAT 1ST PINK LABEL PRESSINGS CAN SELL FOR HUNDREDS OF POUNDS-WAY OUT OF REACH OF MOST COLLECTORS AND EVEN THIS 2ND PRESSING IS ALMOST 45 YEARS OLD AND "BOOKED" AT £70 MAKING THIS A VERY ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION FROM A TOTALLY RELIABLE SELLER!.
*****************************************************************
This highly sought after album was from the collection of a very careful collector who has kept them carefully away from light and heat for nearly 45 years!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
Most that were buying albums in 1970 were usually using dreadful equipment!
An ideal opportunity to add a classic album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
