DESCRIPTION BELOW.
THIS LP IS MEGA RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - This is the ORIGINAL PINK "I" UK 1st pressing from 1969 and is in SUPERB condition!..The record is pressed on a slab of THICK black quality vinyl.
A eye-opening debut if ever there was one!! That bespectacled musical mage, Robert Fripp, indeed assembled a court of kings for this adventure: Michael Giles, Greg Lake, Ian McDonald, Peter Sinfield. Most would remain for Crimson’s next voyage, but already the band was writing their epitaph. With such a sense of urgency, the band takes pains to get it right the first time, and they really do. In fact, beyond peradventure, no band had sallied forth into the forest for the first time and achieved this measure of fame on their return.
When the dust had settled, King Crimson was crowned rock’s new champion, ushering in a golden age of music where brute force and beauty commingle with the sounds of distant worlds. That such powerful songs could be rendered with as deft a touch was a revelation. Cream had aspired to this place with “Tales of Brave Ulysses,” the Moodies had sought to soar so high on their mellotron one “Tuesday Afternoon,” but both were revealed as pretenders to the crown by The Court of the Crimson King. The album also set the stage for the further adventures of ELP and the progressive paladins who followed.
