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


Beautiful original Pink Island copy - it's worth buying for the NEAR PERFECT/NEW cover alone not to mention the record ...

 

 

cover: original  un-laminated E.J. Day. GF  cover  superb  clean  with TINY amount of wear on the top and bottom L corners but that’s about it – easily grades MINT- or better  …NO  edge or corner wear ,ALL four corners are superb clean and square,opening edges are straight and sharp,NO signs of use AT ALL.…Inside is really nice and clean,pretty much as NEW…Spine is PERFECTLY square and uncrushed with all lettering  100% visible and readable…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....AS MUCH AS A HATE USING THE WORD „IMPOSSIBLE” ( I DO and can’t understand at all why some sellers - especially the ones who buy these records right here, on THIS site.. - constantly say this about common and easily available records…  any idea ???)  I MUST SAY IT WOULD BE VERY NEAR „IMPOSSIBLE” TO FIND A BETTER FIRST PRESSED COVER OF THIS ALBUM…

 

record,visual:  both sides are  superb clean,between  EX++ and MINT-  with few  microscopic surface lines visible ONLY 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: I PLAYED THE ENTIRE RECORD FROM START TO END WITH HIGH VOLUME -  ALTHOUGH NOBODY EVER PLAYS „MOONCHILD” EVERY SINGLE TIME HE/SHE PLAYS THIS ALBUM I ALSO TESTPLAYED THE  MENTIONED TRACK (MOONCHILD), IT  PLAYS WELL,  NO LOUD POPS/CLICKS,THERE’S SOME  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, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS IS A RECORD AND NOT A CD …–… THE REST OF THE ALBUM PLAYS GREAT, LOVELY 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:   AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE  with few VERY light  spindle hole marks….ILPS 9111 A2 and ILPS 9111 B3 matrix numbers.. …no tears,stamps or any other damages...

EX (EXCELLENT)
VG ( VERY GOOD)
 
I ALSO USE  PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) IF THE CONDITION FALLS BETWEEN TWO GRADES.
VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT..I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE RECORD  FROM START TO END ( WHO DOES ? ) - HOWEVER,I  TESTPLAY SKIPPING THROUGH  TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK  QUALITY.

IN THE UNLIKELY CASE THAT YOU SHOULD BE UNHAPPY WITH MY GRADING/DESCRIPTION PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK-I’M SURE THAT WE CAN CLEAR OUT EVERY PROBLEM IN A KIND WAY!
 
PLEASE NOTE:ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T  HEAR ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS DURING THE TESTPLAY ON MY SYSTEM AND HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL,I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY ON YOUR SYSTEM -YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ODD STATICK TICK/POP THAT I DIDN’T !!!
