Description
King Crimson 'In The Court Of The Crimson King' Monarch Plant Pressing
US - 1969 - 1st Pressing
Shrink Wrap: EX+ ~ NM- The wrap is solidly in place with no major tears or splits. Three corners are just barely peeking through the shrink, and a small piece of clear tape is placed at the top left rear corner to secure a minor separation. Includes a rectangular clear hype sticker on the upper left front corner.
GF Cover: NM- Never opened. Still in shrink. Minor feathering at three corners as noted above. No other blemishes are seen. The gatefold remains in splendid condition. Although it is still sitting beneath the shrink, it does appear to be textured.
Vinyl Visual: NM- There are two virtually inaudible mini lines which run across the grooves on S2T1. This is a fabrication flaw. The record is otherwise perfect.
Labels: Mint
Audio Grade: 9.5/10 Allows for the odd passive tic and extremely mild surface noise during 'Moonchild' (common with these earlier pressing regardless of origin.)
Original Inner: NM- Small, neat seam split on one side. Inner is genuinely in like-new condition.
INV: 605
Additional photos are available upon request. Returns are accepted up to 10 days after delivery. Thank you for looking!
Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns. If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.
Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example: Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG Playback Grade: NM

Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
