KING CRIMSON 'IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING' 1969 VINYL LP ILPS9111, 1st Pressing? Matrix stamp: Side 1; ILPS 9111 A^2 1 2 1 1 Side 2; ILPS 9111 B//4 1 1 1 7
The vinyl has some surface light scratching and marks from placing in and out of the sleeve, plays well throughout, some noise in quiet sections, but plays exceptionally well. In terms of condition rating - I am no expert, the records have been cleaned with wet wipes and was played on a Technics turntable using a new Technics P24 stylus. The overall vinyl condition I would say is Very good, based on the above and that the vinyl looks clean with some surface marks, the centre is clean with some spindle marks (see photos) The record plays exceptionally well throughout with a good depth of sound with little background noise that virtually disappears if 'Dolby Mute' is used. The sleeve has some wear and tear, so therefore I would grade its overall condition as VG.
I have tried to grade using the Record Collectors Grading, as below: Excellent (EX): 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 (VG): 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 (G): 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, discoloration, etc. Delivery is by signed Royal Mail, 2/3 days
