Description
RARITY:- King Crimson's first & rarest LP ever! Also 100% Complete with its ORIGINAL 'E.J.Day' Gatefold cover (and NOT a later 'swopped' one!)
COUNTRY:- UK
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESS - PINK 'i' ISLAND LABEL + 'E.J.DAY' GATEFOLD COVER!
ARTIST:- KING CRIMSON
TITLE:- IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING
CAT NUMBER:- ILPS 9111
LABEL:- ISLAND
DATE:- 1969
LABELS:- EX (A nice set of labels!) With only a few very minor spindle lines visible !!!!
GRADING:- VERY GOOD++ (Graded directly under a 150 watt bulb!) - and is still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed! Has 2 or 3 visual scufflines, a few hairlines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks under light! I havent played this LP (obviously I dont have the time!) - though I have studied this one hard under light and can not see ANY reason AT ALL why it shouldnt play through absolutely FINE! OK - so there will be a few light clicks, and no doubt some background crackle, or background sound - but I cannot see ANY evidence that it will jump or stick!!!! Of course though, I just want to be very VERY exact and careful to avoid any issues - and so I will only grade this record VERY GOOD++! So not a perfect example - but so VERY rare now!
INNER:- Original in EXCELLENT unsplit condition!!!
COVER:- The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Cover is VERY decent indeed! It has NO rips, NO tears, NO splits, NO sticker marks, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, and only the usual VERY slight edge wear & spinal wear - which is almost unavoidable on this cover! OK so I will grade as EXCELLENT (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) with the main faces looking SUPERB!
