Description
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King LP
Original 1969 CP-Pitman Pressing Atlantic Label SD 8245 (ST-A-691699 CP)
Play sampled the record on my pioneer turntable and examined the vinyl under a bright light.
The LP plays great. Has great sound and I would consider the vinyl to be a solid EX+ or better.
Some minor scuffs/hairlines appear here and there, but really there is no affect to the playback.
Maybe a little crackling in the dead wax edge. (See video) Labels are clean.
"Textured" Gatefold Cover looks nice. The front and rear of the jacket has nice color. Just some minor corner and edge wear.
It has some minor spine wear but most of the info is readable. See pics.
Comes with plain white inner sleeve.
Will be shipped in clear outer plastic protective sleeve.
Comes from smoke free climate controlled home.
US Buyers only!!
Will be mailed in sturdy record mailer with padding. I write Fragile on the box. Thank you!!
Here's a reference on record grading:
The Goldmine record grading system is a widely recognized standard for assessing the condition of vinyl records and their covers. It uses a scale ranging from Mint (M) to Poor (P), with various plus and minus grades in between to denote subtle differences in condition.
Here's a breakdown of the Goldmine grading system:
Vinyl Grading:
- Mint (M):
The record is in perfect condition, just as it was when it was originally manufactured. It has never been played and is essentially flawless.
- Near Mint (NM):
A near-perfect record with only minor imperfections, such as a few barely visible scuffs, that do not affect the audio quality.
- Very Good Plus (VG+/EX):
A well-cared-for record with some minor signs of wear, such as light scuffs or surface noise between tracks, but no skips or significant audio issues.
- Very Good (VG):
A record with more noticeable wear, such as surface noise during playback, but still playable without skips.
- Good (G):
A record that plays through without skipping, but has significant surface noise and visible wear.
- Fair (F):
A record with significant noise, scratches, and potential skipping issues. The cover may also be damaged.
- Poor (P):
A record that is likely damaged beyond playable condition.
Cover Grading:
- Mint (M): A flawless cover, just like the vinyl.
- Near Mint (NM): A cover with very minor wear, such as slight creasing or shelf wear.
- Very Good Plus (VG+): A cover with some wear, such as minor ring wear or corner wear.
- Very Good (VG): A cover with noticeable wear, such as ring wear, seam splits, or writing.
- Good (G): A cover with significant wear and potential damage.
- Fair (F): A cover with heavy wear, tears, or other damage.
- Poor (P): A cover that is heavily damaged and potentially uncollectible.
