LISTEN BEFORE BIDDING
Listen to the whole album before bidding.

This is the original King Crimson's 'In The Court Of The Crimson King (An Observation By King Crimson)' on the 'pink rim' Island label from 1969.  The album comes in a gatefold cover.  The cover is still in excellent condition with some minor creasing/scuffing.  The vinyl has 1st press matrix numbers (see below).  The labels are in excellent condition.  The vinyl looks excellent, really bright and clean with virtually no marks.  This is close to near mint but I have downgraded because there is a tiny pin head size manufacturing fault between track one and two (barely visible) which creates a few clicks between tracks.  Playback is superb with virtually no surface noise except the odd light crackle in places.  This is a really nice well looked after copy.  If you are intending to make a bid please play and listen to the audio of the album to judge for yourself.

Album Cover notes:
Front and back covers are still in excellent condition, minor creasing/scuffing
Inside gatefold, excellent condition
No writing on cover or labels
Some fraying on edges of cover
Some fraying to spine

Vinyl notes:
I have played this album back in it's entirety at a reasonably loud volume on a pair of high end Sennheiser headphones to evaluate its condition.

Matrix Number:
ILPS 9111A    EG
ILPS 9111B    EG

A-side:
Virtually no surface noise, light crackle in places, excellent playback

B-side:
Virtually no surface noise, light crackle in places, excellent playback

In general the vinyl is in excellent condition.  It looks very clean and bright and virtually unmarked.  Virtually no surface noise except some light crackle in places, excellent playback.  No skips/jumps.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described although not everyones opinion of its condition will be the same as mine.

If you have any doubts or questions about this record, please ask me and I will try to be as helpful as I can.
