Description
BOTH 1st PRESS ORIGINALS BY THIS CRAZY PROG ROCK BAND.
IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON. 1st PRESS PINK LABEL WITH THE I. A1 / B1 MATRICES, VERY EARLY PRESSING, GATEFOLD SLEEVE - WITH THE BASING STREET LOGO, I GRADE AS EX+ just slight shelving, THE BEST I HAVE SEEN, THIS OIL PAINTING TYPE TEXTURED SLEEVE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION & RETAINS IT'S LOVELY COLOURING. THE PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS LINED INNER SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE LABELS I GRADE AS EXCELENT slight spindel traces. THE VINYL RETAINS IT'S JUST PRESSED LOOK, VERY SHINEY, A FEW MARKINGS BUT I STILL GRADE AS VG++ / EX-. PLAYGRADES AT VG++ just a very few clicks on the first track BUT NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL LISTENING EXPERIENCE.
IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING, STEREO ILPS-9111. GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH THE BASING STREET LOGO, I GRADE AS VG+ SOME SHELVING BUT NOT TOO BAD, SOME SLIGHT SPLITTING ON THE SPINE, this is quite common with this sleeve,please see image, AGAIN IT STILL RETAINS IT'S GREAT COLOURING. THE INNER PLASTIC BAGS INNER SLEEVE IS NR MINT. THE LABELS I GRADE AS EX- just some spindel lines, THE VINYL, WITH THE A2 / B3 MATRICES IS VERY SHINEY, SOME MARKS & SLIGHT SURFACE SCRACHING BUT NOTHING FEELABLE AND GRADE AS VERY GOOD VISUALLY. THE SOUND IS OVERALL VERY GOOD WITH SOME CLICKS IN PLACES but these go in time with the music and as such do not detract too much from the overall listening experiance.
BOTH HAVE BEEN KEPT IN POLYLINERS WITH STIFFENED BACKERS OUT OF THE SUN TO RETAIN THEIR COLOURS.
THE 1st 2 ORIGINAL PRESSES BY THIS GREAT BAND.
THESE HAVE BEEN PLAYED TWICE EACH ON MY VERY SENSITIVE AMSTRAD, TO BE SURE OF MY GRADINGS, THIS TENDS TO PICK UP ANY SLIGHT DUST CRACKLE, CLICK OR WHATEVER, IF THESE VINYLS WERE PUT THROUGH A VINYL CLEANING MACHINE THEIR PLAYBACK COULD ONLY GET BETTER.
IF WINNER IS FROM OVERSEAS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AS I WILL HAVE TO GET THESE INSURED POSTAGE.
