KING CRIMSON-IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON-1970-PINK "i"-1st PRESSING-ILPS 9127-A//1.B//1.NEAR EXCELLENT
THE TEXTURED GATEFOLD COVER IS IN GENERALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION-THERE IS JUST VERY MINOR WEAR TO TOP AND BASE.ONE OF THE BEST COVERS I HAVE SEEN AS THERE IS NEXT TO NO RUBBING.SEE PHOTOS.
LABELS EXCELLENT-JUST VERY MINOR SHELF WEAR.
BLUE INNER-VERY GOOD +.
THE VINYL IS VISUALLY EXCELLENT,BRILLIANT SHEEN-JUST THE MEREST HINT OF THE ODD VERY LIGHT SLEEVE REMOVAL MARK.
THE AUDIO IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT BUT AS WITH NEARLY ALL THESE EARLY PRESSINGS ON THIS LABEL THERE IS ALWAYS SOME FAINT,BUT AUDIBLE CRACKLE IN THE QUIETER PARTS.THE BEGINNING OF BOTH SIDES ARE VERY QUIET AND THIS LIGHTISH CRACKLE CAN BE HEARD.THIS CAN ALSO BE HEARD IN OTHER QUIETER PARTS,BUT FOR THE MOST PART PLAYS WITH GREAT RICH SOUND.TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE I WILL ONLY GRADE THIS AS VERY GOOD+.THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE.

I USE THE WELL KNOWN GRADING SYSTEM
"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

On reappraisal of the audio quality I would go from Very good to excellent as the background noise at the outset might be a little unsettling to some.No big issue.Just want to be safe and not misleading.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Mark On 16-May-15 at 10:22:38 BST, seller added the following information:To be 100% clear the audio range is very good to excellent.The previous revision might be misunderstood.
