grading
RECORD from VG(-) to VG(+) but (please, read below description)
Side A: VG(+) with clicks and back noise throughout but with a little lessening (to my taste) in sound quality
Side B: 1. VG (-) with light & heavy clicks/crackles and backnoise
2. on my stereo, jump/skip at the start (after 43 seconds and with a couple of heavy clicks
after 6 minutes circa of the song, the rest of the song is in VG(+) condition
with light backnoise expecially on the slowest parts...but plays honestly well)
SLEEVE VG (+) but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The group's definitive album, and one of the most daring debut albums ever recorded by anybody.
At the time, it blew all of the progressive/psychedelic competition (the Moody Blues, the Nice, etc.)
out of the running, although it was almost too good for the band's own good -- it took King Crimson
nearly four years to come up with a record as strong or concise. Ian McDonald's Mellotron
is the dominant instrument, along with his saxes and Fripp's guitar, making this a somewhat
different-sounding record from everything else they ever did.Lineup changes commenced
immediately upon the album's release, and Fripp would ultimately be
the only survivor on later King Crimson records...(AllMusic)
