PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IN THESE EBAY AUCTIONS I USE A STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEM THAT CAN'T DISAPPOINT ANYONE BUT THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT ,FOR EXAMPLE, A VG+ COVER OR A VG+ VINYL IT'S EQUIVALENT TO "BAD CONDITIONS" BUT SIMPLY THAT MY GRADE IT'S STRICT AND PROBABLY EQUIVALENT TO AN EX OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH NOT A SO STRICT GRADE. I HAVE SOLD IN THESE AUCTIONS EX- RECORDS THAT WERE SURELLY M- COPIES BUT I PREFERE TO BE STRICT TO AVOID ANY DISAPPOINTEMENT BECAUSE I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY REPUTATION.
Record Collector Magazine 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 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.
graded VG+/VG++ for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system
label: The classic Pink Island ILPS 9132 does have some spindle marks around the center hole so VG+. cover: The cover it's matt so very prone to the wear and this one it's surelly one of the best possibles to get. Light partial ring faded on the right side and a light crease on the right upper corner, some more spine wear but the first view it's very good and more than you aspect for a so fragile cover, I grade it a full VG+ that it's the classic grade for an used records and EX for many others not so strict graders. vinyl: The vinyl look without marks so a very enjoying copy that plays very well with super minimal background noises in the start of first track before that the music start and between some of the tracks...a great vinyl copy!review: Really Hard To Find original press of the debut album was one of the great shots across the bow of popular music announcing that progressive rock (which, although it's open to debate and discussion, started in 1968-1969 with albums by the Pretty Things and the Who) was more than a passing fad. Keith Emerson, keyboardist of orchestral prog pioneers The Nice; Greg Lake, bass and voice of mellotron progsters King Crimson; Carl Palmer, drum prodigy of doom-rocker Vincent Crane and a brief stint with the Crazy World of Arthur Brown - he, the God of Hellfire with the flaming headgear - were greeted by a generation of fans interested in 'players' believing that rock music could be expanded upon - lyrically and musically - beyond 2 minutes and 30 seconds of predictable structure, and songs of love and tranquility.
From the opening fuzz bass roar of The Barbarian, the serene cymbal brushes and plucked piano strings of Take a Pebble, the snarling Hammond organ on Knife Edge, the gothic church organ rumble of Clotho, the modern jazz clankery of Atropos, the mechanical funk of Tank, and finally the Moody Blues-ian acoustic ballad Lucky Man, ELP took pop-rock by the scruff of the neck, put it in a blender with a healthy dash of jazz, 20th century classical, church music, troubadour, and threw it up against the canvas like a mad abstractionist painter. The end result was an overpowering display of skill, blending of styles, and a sonic quality unheard of. No wonder ELP was greeted as conquering heroes; great rock is always over the top, and ELP fit that bill to a T.
ELP's album was used as a sound system demonstration piece for many years, and while the aforementioned songs and inventive approaches were unique, it was Emerson's use of the Moog synthesizer that set it apart sonically. Sure, the Monkees fiddled with it on 'Daily Nightly', but to hear it used as a true solo instrument by a real player, more than a few teenagers were playing keyboard on the car dash before long and speakers suffered mightily from the Moog unrestricted low end rumblings.
ELP set a standard for a trio allowing plenty of solos and solo spots, all while presenting the music as a band effort. While Lucky Man is the best known track to the general populace due to its endearing popularity on classic rock radio, it is 'Tank' - although it's an instrumental number - that showcases the formidable skills of all 3 band members. The first part of the song features overdubbed electronic harpsichord playing by Keith, one channel playing quasi-classical, while the other channel reveals bluesy licks all while played over a driving Palmer beat and a great fluid bass line by Lake. Following an artillery duel of keyboard-bass licks versus drum rolls, Palmer gets a chance to show his vast skills, often times sounding like 2 drummers. The ending is a repetitive blues drone fade-out where Emerson again shines with his inventive use of - then new - electronics, covering the sound and stylistic spectrum in a blizzard of notes... don't miss!!!
