Description

All my LP's, Albums & Singles are being sold off from my own private collection, all of which have been cared for, are stored in poly sleeves and shelved correctly. I've graded and priced my collection conservatively. I'm happy to answer questions you may have, provide further photos and can also provide audio samples on request.


King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

(AN OBSERVATION BY KING CRIMSON) (LP, Album, Gatefold)

(1st UK 1969 pressing, Pink island Label)
Media Condition:  Excellent (EX) Sleeve Condition: Near Mint (NM or M-)

The cover has slight edge rubbing from shelf storage and a little wear to the spine, the top 1.5” and the bottom corner.

The spine can still be read clearly, the gatefold cover still looks extremely good inside and out!

The vinyl is glossy and has only, some very light surface marks due to removal from the original poly-lined inner sleeve, at 50 years old it still looks, plays and sounds absolutely amazing!

The lightest of background noise in the quieter parts, and some light ticks at the very beginning (first 10 seconds) of Track 1, Side two, nothing more! 

Both sides play with a warm and clear sound, good definition and an extensive dynamic range.
