KING CRIMSON
IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON
PRESSED ON 160 gms OF ORIGINAL 1970's VINYL !!!!
UK 1ST PRESS FULLY COMPLETE WITH BLUE ISLAND INNER, AND IT PLAYS AMAZING !!!!
THIS IS KING CRIMSON, WHO WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND THIS IS THEIR 2nd ALBUM RELEASEDON 15th MAY 1970. THERE ARE LOTS OF QUIET PARTS AS ON MOST KING CRIMSON ALBUMS, BUT THIS PLAYS SUPERB, WITH BEAUTIFUL CRISP AND CLEAR AUDIO. THIS IS ANOTHER ROCK MONSTER FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  ILPS+9217+A2  ::  ILPS+9127+B2 .
ON THE PINK WITH WHITE 'i' LOGO ISLAND LABEL  ::  ILPS 9127 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS HEAVILY TEXTURED FRONT AND BACK GATEFOLD, WITH SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH THE BOTTOM EDGE HAVING SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR. THE SPINE IS FULLY READABLE, BUT LIKE THE TOP EDGE THERE ARE SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB, AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NO ISSUES, JUST A VERY TINY NAME WRITTEN IN BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND I WOULD GRADE  :: VG/EX- .  

VINYL ::  THE AUDIO PLAYS WITH NO ISSUES, SO NO STICKS, JUMPS OR STICKS, AND IN FACT, NO NASTY LOUD POPS, CLICKS, TICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND TO FIND ANY KING CRIMSON WITH BRILLIANT AUDIO IS DIFFICULT DUE THE VERY QUIET PARTS. 

ALL I HEARD WAS A VERY, VERY FAINT TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 1, ON THE VERY QUIET INTRO, AND JUST AS THE LOUDER SECTION KICKS IN, THERE IS A SPLIT SECOND HISS SOUND, IT IS SO QUICK IT IS SOON FORGOTTEN AND SOUNDS A LOT WORSE THAN IT ACTUALLY IS, WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST A FAINT TICK TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK 1, AND A FAINT TICK AT THE START, AND ANOTHER FAINT TICK IN THE MIDDLE ON TRACK 2, AND THAT'S ALL !!!!

VISUALLY, AGAIN NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THE VINYLS STILL HOLD A LOVELY SHINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, A SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINE AT THE START OF TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND THATS ALL. SO A VERY NICE LOOKING VINYL AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY 160gm ORIGINAL VINYL AND THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB. SO FOR THAT AUDIO GRADE, AND I COULD HAVE GONE FOR AN EASY EX/EX+, BUT I WILL PLAY IT SAFE, SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY STRONG  :: EX .   AS MENTIONED I COULD HAVE GONE A LITTLE HIGHER, SO THIS IS NOT OVER GRADED IN ANY WAY !

LABELS :: LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, BUT THERE IS A NAME WRITTEN SMALL ON ONE LABEL, AND I STILL WOULD GRADE  :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL BLUE ISLAND POLYLINED INNER ::  NO SPLITS OR WRITING, WITH SPLAYED CORNERS, AND DIE CUT OPENING EDGE, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES, AND SOME TINY LIGHT SPOT STAINS. THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL ONE LISTED ABOVE :: VG/VG+ .

WHAT AN ALBUM, JUST DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE !!!! AS YOU HAVE JUST SEEN THIS IS IN LOVELY ALL ROUND CONDITION, WITH WONDERFUL AUDIO, ORIGINAL COVER AND INNER, AND A MUST HAVE ALBUM FOR YOUR ROCK COLLECTION !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !! ROSE.

DUE TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR CRAZY WORLD, I AM SORRY ALL PACKAGES WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL TRACKED WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, WHICH IS SAFEST AND BEST WAY, SO WE CAN TRACK YOUR PACKAGE, THANK YOU !!!! 

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
