Description
More sorting out, so these must go as I have not listened to them for many many years, so they are obviously surplus to requirements.
All albums are listened to before listing, dangerous, as I have been told in no uncertain terms that if I decide I now like them they are still going.
First grade is vinyl, second is sleeve and inner. Photos are of the actual items for sale. Postage is free, UK mainland only.
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black UK ILPS9275 Pink Rim Island Palm Tree 1974
This is the MSD (Multiple Sound Distributors) 1st Press with grooved label unlike the similar EMI with smooth label. Textured gatefold printed by Robor.
Matrix / Runout A - A 2M S.D.
Matrix / Runout B - B 3M Sean + Ray
When playing Side A I noticed by accident a bit of travel on the tonearm, not much maybe 5mm, maybe not even that, nothing when playing Side B, no affect in playback but I like to mention everything, to try and show this I have taken a photo of the disc lying flat on a flat table, I was able to place a 1mm cardboard shim all around the disc, when I turned the disc over I was unable to place any shim under the disc. As I said all played fine throughout tracking at 1.75.
The price being asked reflects my pedantic grading, so a bit of a bargain.
Play Grade - Excellent sound throughout, I have graded Ex- because of what is mentioned above.
Vinyl Visual - Excellent, showing odd sign of being played.
Inner covers - VG+, Original inner with lyrics, shows a bit of discolouration/foxing.
Outer Cover - Gatefold and intact, has some wear and shows some discolouration/foxing.
Ex-/VG+.
Any questions please ask.
