Description
KING CRIMSON IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON
HERE IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GROUPS, AND THIS IS THEIR SECOND STUDIO ALBUM AFTER THEIR DEBUT CLASSIC, "IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING". THIS IS FROM MY PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF ANOTHER 'CRIMSON CLASSIC' !!! UK 1ST PRESS WITH 1ST PRESS HEAVY TEXTURED GATEFOLD !!!
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 1970 UK 1ST PRESS :: A//1 :: B//1 .
ON THE PINK ISLAND WITH WHITE 'i' LOGO LABEL :: ILPS-9127 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E.J.DAY GROUP, LONDON AND BEDFORD, MADE FROM THICKER, AND HEAVIER CARD, WHICH IS HEAVILY TEXTURED FRONT AND BACK. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE ALL SOLID, WITH JUST SOME TINY BITS OF LIGHT RUB, AND NOTHING MUCH AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PHOTOS. THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG ONE EDGE ONLY, AND AGAIN NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND OVER ALL A BEAUTIFUL CLEAN AND SOLID ORIGINAL. THE ONLY THING OF NOTE IS THAT THERE IS A BIT OF WRITING INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IN TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THERE ARE FOUR TINY * MARKS NEXT TO THE TRACKS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GATEFOLD. NOW WITHOUT THE WRITING AND THE FOUR *, THE GRADE WOULD HAVE BEEN EX/EX+, SO DUE TO THIS I WILL HAVE TO GRADE THE COVER :: EX .
VINYL :: VISUALLY STILL HAS A VERY NICE SHINE, AND ONLY UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL HAS ONLY A FEW FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND COUPLE OF SMALL FINE COSMETIC HAIRLINES, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO WORRY ABOUT, AS I SAID AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE !! AS YOU WILL KNOW THERE ARE LOTS OF QUIET PARTS ON THIS ALBUM, AND ONE TRACK YOU CAN ACTUALLY THINK THE VINYL HAS STOPPED PLAYING, BUT THE REALLY GREAT NEWS IS THAT THE AUDIO IS QUIET WITH NO BACKGROUND NOISE, AND IN FACT THE WHOLE VINYL IS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO. ALL I HEARD WAS A FAINT TICK AFTER THE START AND THREE MORE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 1. AT THE END OF SIDE 1 THERE IS A TINY BIT OF STATIC ON THE RUN OFFS, NOT ON THE AUDIO !! WHILE ON SIDE 2 THERE ARE TWO FAINT TICKS TOWARDS THE END...AND THAT'S IT !!! PLAYS EXTREMELY WELL AS YOU HAVE JUST READ, AND I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX/EX+ . BUT IT IS NEARER EX+ !!!
LABELS :: NOW THE LABELS HAVE SOME BITS OF PAPER LOSS, WHICH HAVE BEEN COLOURED IN. NOW IT DOES SOUND A LOT WORSE THAN IT IS, SO PLEASE STUDY THE LABEL PHOTOS, THANK YOU. I WOULD STILL GRADE :: VG+/EX .
ORIGINAL INNER :: WITH NO SPLITS, BUT THERE IS SOME WRITING TOP LEFT CORNER, ON ONE SIDE ONLY, SO :: VG+ .
SO THERE WE HAVE IT, ANOTHER CRIMSON CLASSIC ALBUM, WHICH PLAYS SUPERB. BEAUTIFUL 1ST PRESS HEAVY TEXTURED COVER, WITH JUST THAT BIT OF WRITING, SO OVER ALL A VERY NICE EXAMPLE, AND ONE NOT TO FORGET !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.
