ATTENTION PROGRESSIVE ROCK,KING CRIMSON AND PINK ISLAND LABEL COLLECTORS!
HERE IS A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF THE LP:
"IN THE WAKE OF THE POSEIDON"
A 1970 1ST UK EDITION WITH THE PINK ISLAND LABEL WITH THE WHITE"i"LOGO AS ONLY ON THE SHORT LIVED EARLIEST PRESSINGS AND THE E.J.DAY PRINTED TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER WITH ONLY SLIGHT SURFACE WEAR!
ILPS 9127+A//1 B//1 MATRIXES-EARLIEST POSSIBLE!
LOTS OF BASS-THICK VINYL-FAR THICKER THAN THE WAFER THIN LATER 1970s REPRESSES SO OFTEN CLASSED AS "ORIGINALS"
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL-THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER FIRST ISSUE PRESSED IN THE SPRING OF 1970 THAT HARDLY SOLD TO START WITH-MOST BUYERS GETTING THE PINK RIM DESIGN WHICH TOOK OVER WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF THIS AMAZING LPs DEBUT!
THE DISC HAS JUST A FEW MOSTLY VISUAL SURFACE MARKS BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EXCEPT A LITTLE CRACKLE AT THE VERY START AND END OF EACH SIDE AND SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS,LISTENED TO AT HIGH VOLUME ALL THE WAY THROUGH THREE TIMES WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY FAULTS.THERE ARE NO NASTY CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS! A FEW ISOLATED FAINT"POPS"BUT THAT IS BEING ULTRA STRICT!
REMEMBER THERE ARE LOTS OF VERY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS LP BUT IT IS STILL OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED! STILL A VERY STRICT AND SAFE NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION GRADING-SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
THE SOUND IS QUITE SUPERB!
I DON'T RECALL EVER HEARING ONE AS GOOD ON IT'S EARLIEST UK PRESSING!
CLEAN LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE WEAR!
THE GATEFOLD COVER HAS SOME SLIGHT SURFACE WEAR NEAR TO THE EDGES BUT NO WRITING,REPAIRS OR RIPS AND IS VERY PRESENTABLE INDEED!
This highly sought after 1ST PRESSING album was from the collection of Mike Coxhead,a well known,succesful and respected British rock music industry businessman who also worked as a roadie and engineer for bands such as PINK FLOYD,THE WHO and LED ZEPPELIN and many more as well as being a guitarist and keen record collector!
The majority of the albums in this collection have not been played for years and are for the most part in Excellent condition,having been hardly played and when they were only played with extreme care on superb equipment!
The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!
Most that were buying albums in 1970 were usually using dreadful equipment!
An ideal opportunity to add a fine and rare album in super condition to your collection that is bound to rise in value!
A VERY LOW,REALISTIC £15 STARTING PRICE +FREE RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK!
EXPECT KEEN BIDDING AT THE LAST MINUTE ON THIS MASTERPIECE THAT STILL SOUNDS HAUNTING AND INCREDIBLE AND NOT AS DATED AND DULL AS MANY OTHER SO CALLED PROG.ROCK CLASSICS!!!!!
