IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESS  ::  A V 2  ::  B//4 .

ON THE PINK WITH WHITE 'I' LOGO ISLAND LABEL :: ILPS-9111  .

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VISIBILITY ON MY OTHER LISTINGS. IF YOU CAN NOT SEE ANY MORE LISTINGS, PLEASE GO ON   www.ebay.co.uk. 

THANK YOU !!!

COVER :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J. DAY, LONDON :: THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID AND THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP. THE SPINE IS STILL READABLE BUT THERE IS RUB ON THE EDGES OF THE SPINE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM HAVE MODERATE SHELF WEAR :: SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN ON THE FRONT ON THE EYES AND THE TEETH, ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THE BACK ALSO HAS SOME WRITING ( PLEASE SEE PHOTO ) :: THERE IS ALSO A SMALL STICKER REMOVAL MARK ON THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER :: INSIDE THE GATEFOLD THERE ARE NO ISSUES. ( PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS AND USE THE ZOOM FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION ) THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES :: VG/VG+ . DUE TO THE WRITING !!!!

VINYL :: PLAYS WELL WITH SOME FAINT TICKS IN PLACES, BUT NOTHING TO SPOIL THIS AMAZING ICONIC ALBUM. THERE ARE NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE. IF THIS PLAYED RUBBISH, IT WOULD NOT BE LISTED ON MY SITE, BUT IT WOULD NOW BE A VERY EXPENSIVE FRUIT BOWL !!! VISUALLY THERE ARE QUITE A FEW SLEEVE REMOVAL  SPIDER WEB ULTRA FINE LINES AND QUITE A FEW VARIOUS HAIRLINES AND SOME OTHER LIGHT MARKS, AND TWO TINY SLIGHTLY  FEELABLE MARKS, ONE ON SIDE 1 AND THE OTHER ON SIDE 2. THIS ALL SOUNDS BAD BUT THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS SO  NO NASTY MARKS OR SCRATCHES !! THE AUDIO PLAYS WELL BUT I WILL DO A MORE DETAILED AUDIO DESCRIPTION BELOW >>>>>>>>

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS FOUR FAINT POPS IN THE MIDDLE .

TRACK 2 :: HAS TEN SOFT TICKS AT THE START AND A COUPLE IN THE MIDDLE AND A COUPLE AT THE END .

TRACK 3 :: HAS JUST ONE OR TWO VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE.

SIDE 2 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS A COUPLE OF FAINT TICKS JUST AFTER THE START. THERE ARE SOME SOFT BACKGROUND LIGHT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE AND TOWARDS THE END AND THE ODD ONES IN BETWEEN .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS BETTER BUT STILL HAS SOME FAINT BACKGROUND TICKS IN MOST PLACES .

TRACK 3 :: HAS THREE SOFT POPS AT THE START. 

I KNOW THIS ALL SOUNDS BAD, BUT AS I SAID IT IS STILL A VERY ENJOYABLE VINYL TO LISTEN TO, BUT NOT FOR THE PERFECTIONIST !!! I PLAYED IT THROUGH TWICE, AND NOT AT ONE STAGE  DID I THINK "THIS IS TO MUCH I CAN NOT HANDLE ANY MORE"...SO IT IS STILL A GREAT LISTEN, BUT IT WILL NOT CHANGE INTO ANYTHING ELSE THAN WHAT IS LISTED. OF COURSE I CAN NOT DESCRIBE EVERY INDIVIDUAL TICK, WHICH WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE, SO I HAVE DESCRIBE THE AUDIO AS HONEST AS I POSSIBLY CAN. NOW FOR THE AUDIO GRADE...WELL I WILL HAVE TO GRADE IT :: VG . TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, BUT YOU WILL STILL ENJOY IT AS THERE ARE NO SERIOUS AUDIO ISSUES !!!!

LABELS :: NICE AND CLEAN ( PLEASE SEE PHOTOS ) :: VG+ .

INNER :: NO WRITING JUST A TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON ONE SIDE ONLY AND A SMALL TEAR AT THE MIDDLE, ON ONE SIDE ONLY :: VG+ .

BRILLIANT ICONIC ALBUM. NOT THE PRETTIEST LOOKING VINYL AND ALTHOUGH THE AUDIO IS NOT THE BEST, THERE IS STILL NOTHING OVER THE AUDIO, OR ANYTHING INTRUSIVE THAT SPOILS THIS AMAZING ALBUM, AND IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL COVER !!!! THANKYOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME.
