Description

KING CRIMSON In the Court of the Crimson King LP UK 1st press A3/B3 EX+/VG+

Cat: ILPS - 9111

Rare first press with the A3 / B3 matrx and in amazing condition.

Vinyl is beautiful and clean, glossy with no scratches, just 2 or 3 very fine hairlines, and I really mean fine, but as I'm being super strict, conservatively grades as EX+. I have had this since new, but have not had a turntable for 35 years or so, until this year.  It has been really cared for and lightly played.  No marks, writing or stickers.

The original gatefold sleeve is in really nice shape, again no writing or stickers, lovely and stiff, still retaining the vibrant colours, especially on the inside. The only downside is rubbing to the spine (see pics) and a slight crease on the back cover where it has been held whilst taking out the vinyl and as such I've graded it as VG+ overall, still a really strong thick card sleeve. Original poly lined inner has browned slightly but is included and intact, grades as VG. It will arrive in a new polylined sleeve.  

• Matrix / Runout (Side A runout stamped (variant 3)): ILPS 9111 A//3 1 1 2
• Matrix / Runout (Side B runout stamped (variant 3)): ILPS 9111 B//3 1 1 7

Good luck bidding!  Comes from a smoke free home.
