EIN WORT ZU MEINER PERSON :

Ich bin KEIN professioneller Händler, sondern ein Sammler von VINYL seit über 35 Jahren.  Alle von mir angebotenen Platten sind aus meinem eigenen Schrank und deswegen natürlich oft gehört!  Alle angebotenen LP´s habe ich nochmal ganz abgehört und beschreibe sie so gut es mir möglich ist, damit sie wissen, was für ein Zustand geboten ist.

Nachdem ich lange Zeit in meinem Leben progressive Musik gesammelt habe und sich mein Musikgeschmack in den letzten Jahren verändert hat, kommen sie jetzt in den Genuss einiger rarer HIGHLIGHTS wie DIES IRAE, KING CRIMSON, OMEGA, NATIONAL HEALTH und vielem mehr - stelle auch morgen noch VINYL ein - viel Spass beim Bieten AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

TITEL : KING CRIMSON - Starless And Bible Black (1974) kommt als sehr rare Original UK 1st PRESS auf PINK RIM ISLAND ILPS 9275 im Klappcover in sehr gutem Zustand: Das unlaminierte Cover ist sehr empfindlich: Es hat oben links einen kleinen Kleberückstand des Preisschildes (kann man wahrscheinlich entfernen) , sehr leichte Gebrauchsspuren und  ist ansonsten absolut klasse erhalten, vg+(+) ! Das Vinyl ist sehr schwer zu bewerten, da diese Scheibe sehr sehr leise Passagen wie auch krass laute Passagen hat - in den leisen Passagen knistert es partiell leicht - in den lauten spielt sie super! Ich bewerte sie vg+ (leise) bis mint-- (laute Passagen).  EINE SEHR SELTENE PLATTE, BRILLIANTE PROGRESSIVMUSIK UND EXCELLENTER ZUSTAND! EINE GESPIELTE COPY WIRD KAUM BESSER ZU FINDEN SEIN!!!!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND EXCELLENT + CONDITION OF THE FOC COVER! THIS PROGROCKMASTERPIECE IS SO HARD TO FIND - EVERY BUYER WILL BE SATISFIED ! FROM MY OWN RECORD COLLECTION! 

REVIEW :  "With a bang, this album starts and doesn't let up for air until about mid-way through. Of all the KC mid-period, this one perhaps is there most consistently breathless -- let's see: we've got hyped-up blues-prog in "The Great Deceiver", the schizophrenic narrative "Lament", marvelously cohesive improv in "We'll Let You Know", "Trio" and the title track, the symphonic ballad "The Night Watch", the spooky, atmospheric "The Mincer", and arguably Fripp's finest masterpiece, "Fracture." If ever a prog band was lean, mean, and ready to fight, it was this one.

Fripp has stated that he always thought his drummer and bassist of this period were great players, but never sure if they were a great rhythm section. In any case, Bruford and Wetton set the tone for many of the pieces on this album. Tightly wound, precise punches and jabs; bladed, metallic bass figures rip through thin layers of mellotron and violin, while high-tuned toms and snare keep ahead of the beat and make no room for error, or even diversion. This is not to say the two men weren't sympathetic performers, but driven.

While the whole-tone adventures of "Fracture" and later pieces such as "Red" and "One More Red Nightmare" have captured the attention of many prog fans, the most distictive aspect of this band may have been its willingness to step out of its structured pieces into improvisation. The mid-period King Crimson were doubtlessly the *most* popular proponents of free-improv in the history of prog. "Trio" is simply that: Fripp, Cross, and Wetton delicately composing in the moment; "We'll Let You Know" is avant-funk without the burden of a dancefloor; "Starless And Bible Black" is exotic, dark, and well-timed - leading into the explosive "Fracture" in much the same way as "The Talking Drum" led into "Larks Toungue part II" on the previous album.

This album saw the band at the height of its powers, and should be a reference to all those defending prog as something other than bombastic flower-music. Great album"!
