King Crimson: In the court of the Crimson king ISLAND 9111 UK


Original Pink Island copy…

 

cover: original  un-laminated E.J. Day. GF  cover, superb clean EX+/EX++ with  small amount of corner wear on top and bottom L, light edge wear  …opening edges are straight and sharp, no signs of heavy use .…inside is really nice and damage-free with small writing on the top edge   …spine is nice,square and un-crushed with the text present and visible  …no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

 

record,visual:  both sides are superb clean and shiny  EX++ with few VERY LIGHT and totally harmless surface hairlines visible  under strong light, NONE of these are audible in any way ….it still retains its beautiful original sheen and  looks VERY NEAR NEW.

 

record,audio: AS WE ALL KNOW THE ULTIMATE SOUND TEST FOR THIS ALBUM IS „MOONCHILD”…I PLAYED THE ENTIRE RECORD FROM START TO END WITH HIGH VOLUME-ON THIS COPY „MOONCHILD” PLAYS GREAT,  NO POPS/CLICKS,THERE’S SOME VERY LIGHT  BACKGROUND/STATIC NOISE  IN THE QUITEST MOMENTS OF THE TRACK – I HIGHLY DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF A COPY THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BACKGROUND NOISE ON THIS TRACK - BUT NOT INTRUSIVE AT ALL…(BY THE WAY – ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY THIS TRACK EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PLAY THIS ALBUM ?? JUST ASKING BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW ANY COLLECTOR WHO ACTUALLY DOES – TO ME THIS SEEMS A TOTAL WASTE OF VALUABLE AND LIMITED  RECORDING SPACE/TIME  THEY COULD’VE USED FOR SOME MORE EXCITING MATERIAL WHICH THEY WERE CLEARLY NOT SHORT OF..  ) .. GREAT SOUND QUALITY WITH  CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH  GREAT DELIVERY AND  STEREO IMAGE…NO DISTORTION,NO GROOVEWEAR,NO SKIPS/JUMPS OR STICKING ..

 

 

labels:  superb clean with few VERY FAINT spindle hole marks ….ILPS 9111 A2 and ILPS 9111 B4 matrix numbers.. …no tears,stamps or any other damages...
