So, so hard to find, King Crimson's all time classic album,the ultimate prog debut album!! Splendid existential prog album in great condition!! This is grandeur from the first note till the very last. I am very happy to be able to present this fantastic and ULTRA rare album . This will be a great first acquisition for the discerning prog collector!!!
IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.
I AM OFFERING ANOTHER HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER PROG / PSYCH ROCK VINYL LP RARITY FROM MY COLLECTION OF SIMILAR ITEMS !! A FANTASTIC ALBUM BY KING CRIMSON. STUNNING CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP . A MUST FOR ANY PROG COLLECTOR.
Vinyl: VG+. The audio is fantastic and this vinyl sounds out of this world, a majestic album that went largely unnoticed at first. The audio has beautiful separation and there is hardly any background noise. I played this twice in full and thoroughly enjoyed it. Under a strong light some shallow hairlines are visible. In normal daylight it looks fabulous with a deep glossy appearance. I was even tempted to keep this as it will be very hard to find this again, it is indeed megarare now. Only very light static on the very soft track "Moonchild". Needless to say NO jumps, sticks, clicks or ticks.
Gatefold sleeve: EX+. Fantastic looked after sleeve without any wear or damage and probably the best I have ever come across!! The pictures tell all!!! Fully legible spine. Hardly any edge wear, totally unique for this matt gatefold that is usually found worse for wear. The spine is fully readable. No marks, writing or smudges. A thoroughly looked after sleeve. This album also still retains its original pale blue with pink printed logo inner sleeve which is polylined. It is lightly creased but has no splits.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 20.00. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
