Vinyl: KING CRIMSON IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING VINYL UK 1ST PRESS 1969 EX+ AUDIO
COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD, PRINTED AND MADE BY E.J.DAY, LONDON. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME BITS OF LIGHT SHELF WEAR ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY SPOTS OF LIGHT RUB ON THE SPINE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP, AND THERE IS ALSO A RUB ON THE SPINE CORNERS. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NOTHING TO REPORT, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE A LOVELY CLEAN AND SOLID ::EX/EX- .
VINYL :: AS YOU MIGHT ALREADY KNOW, THIS ALBUM HAS LOTS OF QUIET PARTS, SO FINDING ONE WITH OUTSTANDING AUDIO IS QUITE RARE, BUT GREAT NEWS, AS THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW THAT SURVIVED, AND IT PLAYS AMAZING. ON SIDE 1 THERE IS JUST A FAINT TICK ON THE RUN IN, SO NOT ON THE ACTUAL AUDIO. WHILE ON SIDE 2, JUST THREE VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, AND TWO VERY FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VERY QUITE TRACK 1, AND THAT'S ALL, SO YOU CERTAINLY WILL ENJOY PLAYING THIS CLASSIC AUDIO !
VISUALLY, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS THE VINYL STILL HOLDS A LOVELY SHINE WITH JUST SOME FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO ::EX/EX+ . AND THIS IS GRADING ON THE SAFE SIDE OF THE AUDIO GRADE AS IT IS REALLY NEARER EX+ AND NO WAY OVER GRADED !
LABELS :: LOVELY CLEAN CONDITION, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN WHEN ANGLED AT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .
ORIGINAL BLUE ISLAND POLYLINED INNER :: NO SPLITS OR WRITING, WITH SPLAYED CORNERS, AND A BIT OF LIGHT AGEING AROUND THE EDGES :: VG+ .
WHAT AN ALBUM, JUST DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANY MORE ! AS MENTIONED THIS IS A VERY HARD ALBUM TO FIND WITH NICE AUDIO, DUE TO THE VERY QUIET PARTS ON SOME OF THE TRACKS, BUT THIS VINYL PLAYS LIKE A DREAM, AND WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING VINYL FOR THIS ALBUM ! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME ! ROSE.

IF SLEEVE REMOVAL AND HAIRLINES ARE MENTIONED, THEN THEY ARE TOTALLY COSMETIC AND HARMLESS, AND THESE ARE NOT SCRATCHES, AS YOU WILL KNOW SCRATCHES ARE FEELABLE AND CAUSE AUDIO PROBLEMS, SO IF THERE WERE ANY SCRATCHES, I WOULD MENTION THEM, THANK YOU !
