ANOTHER SUPERLATIVE ALBUM FROM MESSERS FRIPP/WETTON/BRUFORD THAT ARE COLLECTIVELY KING CRIMSON. THIS IS THEIR 1974 OFFERING "RED". ON THE PINK RIMMED ISLAND LABELS, THIS IS A CLASSIC COPY, AND A SUPERB CHANCE TO OWN A COPY WITH THE LEGENDARY "PECKO" ETCHED DEAD-WAX. A NAME SYNONYMOUS WITH TOP QUALITY SOUND. VERY EARLY PRESSING ON THE PINK RIMMED ISLAND LABEL.
THIS COPY HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY WELL, AND HAS NOT BEEN OVERPLAYED AT ALL. I HAVE RECENTLY COMMITED MY ENTIRE COLLECTION TO DISC, AND AM GIVING ANYONE OUT THERE THAT IS INTERESTED THE CHANCE TO OWN SOME ROCK HISTORY. THE VINYLS ON THIS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, AND THE LAMINATED ROBOR COVER IS TOO.
THIS IS A LOVELY COPY IN FANTASTIC CONDITION, AND ONE FOR THE DISCERNING COLLECTOR. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS ON OFFER:-
THE COVER: IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. VERY SLIGHT DISC IMPRESSION STARTING TO FORM AT TOP ONLY. VERY LIGHT RUBBING. MINOR (VERY) LAMINATE CREASING. GREAT SPINE AND EDGES. A LOVELY EXAMPLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE: IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS HAS SOME LIGHT CREASING, AND MILD DISCOLOURATION, BUT NO SEAM DAMAGE. COMES IN ANTI-STATIC NEW INNER, WITH SLEEVE STORED SEPERATELY TO PREVENT DAMAGE.
LABELS AND VINYLS: LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT ORDER. HARDLY A SPINDLE TRACE TO BE FOUND. VINYLS ARE EXCELLENT TOO. HARD TO FIND ANY FAULT EVEN UNDER THE STRONGEST ANGLED LIGHT. THERE ARE SOME NON-SOUNDING MARKS, APPARENTLY DUE TO SLEEVE REMOVAL, BUT ARE FEW IN NUMBER.
HOW DOES IT SOUND?: THE SOUND PRODUCED IS QUITE EXCELLENT. ANY BACKGROUND IS ONLY EVIDENT ON CAREFUL LISTENING TO THE QUIETEST PASSAGES AND BETWEEN TRACKS. DYNAMIC AND FREE OF DISTORTION, THIS IS A VERY SWEET RECORDING, AND CRYSTAL CLEAR. HARD TO FAULT. HEARING IS BELIEVING.
THATS ABOUT IT REALLY. PRETTY STUNNING CONDITION ALL ROUND. HARD TO FIND, AND IN THIS CONDITION VERY SPECIAL INDEED. WHEN YOU ADD IN THE "PECKO" ETCHED NAME, THIS IS A SPECIAL ALBUM FROM THE KINGS.
PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK RATINGS AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
