Description



This is a great opportunity to acquire an early UK pressing of King Crimson's classic LP 'In The Court of The Crimson King'. The gatefold sleeve is in Very Good condition and is a version that I understand to be highly collectable as it was "Printed and made by E. J. Day, London" (please see the fourth photograph). Side one of the disc is in somewhere between Very Good and Good condition. I think it's safe to say, though, that side two has been played more often than side one on this particular copy (!). There's a fairly heavy mark that covers the first track on side two, and there's also a chip measuring about 1.5 cm in the run-in grooves, meaning that the stylus has to be placed manually on this side of the record. I would therefore grade side two as being in Fair condition. The Island pink rim / 'palm tree logo' labels are very clean.

The matrix stampings in the run-out grooves are as follows:

Side one: ILPS + 9111 + A3 PORKY

Side two: ILPS9111 + B3 PECKO
