Description

THIS IS THE ISLAND ORIGINAL FROM 1969 [ILPS-9111]. BUT THERE IS SOME DAMAGE ON THE FRONT COVER - A STICKER MARK AND SOME OWNER IN-FILL. SEE PICTURE, OTHERWISE THIS IS IN VERY FINE CONDITION. 
There are no hairlines or scuffs in strong light and this record plays beautifully, the vinyl is incredibly well preserved. The credits in the gatefold left hand side run:
All songs by EG Music Cover by Barry Godber Equipment by Vick and Dik Recorded at Wessex Sound Studios London Engineer: Robin Thompson Assistant Engineer: Tony Page Produce by King Crimson for E.G. Productions, 'David and John'.
Then there's the Island logo, and printed and made by E.J. Day London as a printer mark. 
On the deadwax is the serial No. ILPS9111, then further along I can see: B//4  11  6.
On the other side is also ILPS9111, then what looks like AV2 11 5.
I hope this is enough information, I don't want to upload more pictures as I get charged. 
GENERAL STUFF:
In the Court of the Crimson King is the debut studio album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. The album reached number five on the British charts, and is certified gold in the United States.
The album is generally viewed as one of the strongest of the progressive rock genre, where King Crimson largely stripped away the blues-based foundations of rock music and mixed together jazz and classical symphonic elements. In his 1997 book Rocking the Classics, critic and musicologist Edward Macan notes that In the Court of the Crimson King "may be the most influential progressive rock album ever released". The Who's Pete Townshend was quoted as calling the album "an uncanny masterpiece". In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came fourth in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums". The album was named as one of Classic Rock magazine's "50 Albums That Built Prog Rock".
