King Crimson ORIG UK LP In the wake of Poseidon VG+ 70 Pink Island ILPS9127 Prog
Original UK LP released in 1970 on the Pink Island label. Cat: ILPS 9127. Comes in textured gatefold sleeve. Matrix numbers are: ILPS 9127 A//1 L 3 11/ ILPS 9127 B//1 L3 2.King Crimson opened 1970 scarcely in existence as a band, having lost two key members (Ian McDonald and Michael Giles), with a third (Greg Lake) about to leave. Their second album largely composed of Robert Fripp's songwriting and material salvaged from their stage repertory ("Pictures of a City" and "The Devil's Triangle") is actually better produced and better sounding than their first. Surprisingly, Fripp's guitar is not the dominant instrument here: The Mellotron, taken over by Fripp after McDonald's departure and played even better than before still remains the band's signature. The record doesn't tread enough new ground to precisely rival In the Court of the Crimson King. Fripp, however, has made an impressive show of transmuting material that worked on stage ("Mars" aka "The Devil's Triangle") into viable studio creations, and "Cadence and Cascade" may be the prettiest song the group ever cut.
Tracks : Peace - A beginning/ Pictures of a city/ Cadence and cascade/ In the wake of Poseidon/ Cat food/ The devils’ triangle/ Peace - an end. There are some light spindle marks on labels.
