IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING AN OBSERVATION BY KING CRIMSON
THIS IS A 1969 ORIGINAL FULLY COMPLETE UK 1st PRESS, AND AUDIO THAT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BETTER, FOR THIS PROG ROCK MASTERPIECE !!!!

THIS IS THE ONE AND ONLY, KING CRIMSON, AND ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER PRODUCED, AND WITH A LINE UP OF, ROBERT FRIPP, IAN McDONALD, GREG LAKE, MICHAEL GILES, AND PETER SINFIELD, NOT SURPRISING !!!! FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, THIS IS THEIR FIRST AND SO DEBUT ALBUM RELEASED ON 10th OCTOBER 1969. TO FIND A UK 1st PRESS IS HARD ENOUGH, BUT TO FIND ONE WITH AMAZING AUDIO, IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE, DUE TO THE LOTS OF QUIETER SECTIONS, BUT THIS VINYL HAS BEEN LOOKED AFTER, AND IS THE BEST VINYL AND AUDIO I HAVE EVER HAD. THIS WAS A VERY BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, AS I KNOW I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT, SO TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENJOY, SO CERTAINLY A VERY, VERY, VERY SAD FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!    DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1st PRESS  :: ILPS 9111  A V 2  11 5 ::  ILPS 9111  B//4  11 4 .

ON THE 1st PRESS PINK WITH WHITE 'i' LOGO ISLAND LABEL  ::  ILPS-9111 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, WITH 'PRINTED AND MADE BY E. J DAY, LONDON', INSIDE THE GATEFOLD ON THE BOTTOM, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE INTERNAL SPINE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD IS SUPERB WITH NOTHING TO REPORT. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE ALL SOLID, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT BITS OF RUB, AND AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, NOTHING NASTY, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THERE IS A VERY SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND A TINY MARK IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO, AND ALSO A MARK ON THE BACK, AGAIN SHOWN IN THE PHOTO. THIS IS A LOVELY ORIGINAL, AND THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS THAT MARK ON THE BACK, SO WITH THIS IN MIND, I WILL HAVE TO GRADE  :: EX- . OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EX !!!!

VINYL :: AGAIN THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, AND PLAYS NEAR FAULTLESS, AND WILL ONLY BE BEATEN ON THE AUDIO, IF YOU HAVE A MINT UNPLAYED COPY.

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB, SO JUST A FEW TINY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A TINY COSMETIC HAIRLINE AT THE START OF TRACK 3 ON SIDE 1, AND TWO VERY TINY COSMETIC MARKS ON SIDE 2, SO NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!!!

I CERTAINLY COULD HAVE GRADED THE AUDIO NEAR MINT, BUT DUE TO HOW RARE IT IS TO FIND A VINYL AND AUDIO IN THIS CONDITION, I AM GOING TO GRADE THE AUDIO  :: EX+/NEAR MINT.

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN, AND AGAIN NO ISSUES :: EX+ .

ORIGINAL POLYLINED INNERSERT  ::  NO SPLITS, WITH, 'MADE IN ENGLAND  40 /099' IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS A BIT OF WRITING TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND SOME AGE RELATED MARKS, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE  :: VG .

WHAT AN ALBUM THIS IS, AND FULLY COMPLETE, WITH A LOVELY COVER AND AMAZING CLEAR AUDIO, SO YOU WILL KICK YOURSELF IF YOU MISS THIS RARE CHANCE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS CLASSIC 1969 ALBUM !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
