King Crimson’s brilliant debut In The Court Of The Crimson King first pressing 1969 UK Island Records ILPS 91111 A-2 1 B-3 1.
What can one say about this incredible record that hasn’t been said? If you’re not familiar with this record....Become.....It’s a MASTERPIECE and one of the best records ever made! I saw this amazing band at the Fillmore East here in New York opening for Joe Cocker and the Grease Band and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac..It was an unbelievable night of music to say the least, this album was released just weeks before and they performed most of it...They were incredible!
If you’re not familiar with this record check out the title track (ITCOTCK), “Epitaph" and "21st Century Schizoid Man” and you’ll be hooked on this amazing band and record.
Condition: The record grades Excellent+ just a few ultra light wispy sleeve removal marks and a few other ultra light marks nothing deep whatsoever there are no loud pops or skips.
That being said there is some low level static here and there mostly during the run in and outs and the quiet passages and some crackle totally normal for these Island pressings....This is a very nice copy.
The beautiful E.J. & Day gatefold record cover grades Excellent to the Near Mint inner there is some light wear on the rear panel near the opening and a bit of creasing on the upper right on the rear panel also nothing serious really nice compared to most of these I’ve seen (see scans).
As with all records there may be a stray tick, click, pop or surface noise during the run ins and run outs and a touch of crackle or low level static here and there which is totally normal with vinyl. If there was anything out of the ordinary like too much of any the above I would not list the record, as I am first and foremost a record collector just like you..This paragraph is just to explain what you might encounter when buying vinyl records and is no reflection on this particular record. I’ve been collecting records for over 55 years now and this album is from my personal collection.
Please note: Don't let the buy it now price turn you off, that's why the best offer is there.
