KING CRIMSON ‘Starless and Bible Black’ 1974 PINK RIM ISLAND LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL LYRIC INNER

 

Starless and Bible Black is even more powerful and daring than its predecessor, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, with jarring tempo shifts, explosive guitar riffs, and soaring, elegant, and delicate violin and Mellotron parts scattered throughout its 41 minutes, often all in the same songs.

 

The album was on the outer fringes of accessible progressive rock, with enough musical ideas explored to make Starless and Bible Black more than background for tripping the way Emerson, Lake & Palmer's albums were used. "The Night Watch," a song about a Rembrandt painting, was, incredibly, a single release, although it was much more representative of the sound that Crimson was abandoning than where it was going in 1973-1974. More to that point were the contents of side two of the original LP, a pair of instrumentals that threw the group's hardest sounds right in the face of the listener, and gained some converts in the process.  A mighty album!

 

This is an incredibly difficult LP to find as an original, pink rim, 1973 issue in gatefold sleeve with it’s original lyric inner.  Buyers should be aware that his one does have some sleeve discolouration due to a damp stain to bottom corner of spine (see photo) though this is only cosmetic damage.  LP crackles a bit on the very quiet intro to Side B.  Otherwise in Ex- condition and plays fine.  Complete with original, lyric inners sleeve.
