1ST UK 1970 PINK ISLAND PRESSING 

KING CRIMSON

"IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON"

A SERIOUSLY RARE LP AS A FIRST EDITION,THE 2ND KING CRIMSON LP WHICH WAS ALSO QUICKLY REPLACED WITHIN WEEKS OF ISSUE WITH THE MORE COMMON PINK RIM LABEL!

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST ISSUE!

PINK ISLAND WITH THE WHITE "i"LOGO ILPS 9127

A//1 B//1 MATRIXES.

+A VERY CLEAN TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD COVER

PRINTED BY E.J.DAY

MOST THAT TURN UP ARE NOT TEXTURED BUT JUST MATT!!! 

+ ISLAND INNER SLEEVE. 

 IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ACURATE GRADED ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING OF THIS GEM OF AN LP-THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!  

NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION-WITH SOME SURFACE MARKS,SOME SURFACE NOISE,A FEW FAINT CLICKS HERE AND THERE+ A LITTLE DISTORTION AT THE END OF EACH SIDE BUT STILL FAR BETTER THAN MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE!  

FAR BETTER THAN VG! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

NOW HERE IS SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL!

AN ORIGINAL 1ST EDITION(1970)OF THE HYPNOTIC PROGRESSIVE ALBUM ISSUED ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL .

MUSICALLY ELEMENTS OF PROGRESSIVE ROCK,JAZZ,BLUES AND FOLK WITH SUPERB MUSICIANSHIP,SOME GREAT SOLOS,DELIGHTFUL HARMONY VOCALS AND OF COURSE TOP RECORDING PRODUCTION AS TYPICAL OF THE ISLAND LABEL!

A MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE THAT MUST HAVE BLOWN MANY MINDS AWAY BACK IN 1970 WHEN THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

ANY KING CRIMSON FAN WILL WANT THIS AND ESPECIALLY AS A FIRST EDITION!

NOT A TIP TOP NEAR MINT CONDITION EXAMPLE BUT STILL VERY NICE TO OWN IF YOU CAN ACCEPT SOME MINOR SOUND FAULTS.  

This is a THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from later years with LATER label designs.

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE, THERE WAS A DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGN USED, THIS ONE STILL WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE,SOON TO BE REPLACED IN WITH THE "PINK RIM"/PALM TREE DESIGN WHICH OF COURSE IS FAR LESS DESIRABLE AND LESS VALUABLE HAVING A MUCH LARGER PRINT RUN!! 

Copies of this album ON THE PINK ILSAND DESIGN LABEL were  sold in SMALL quantities-only a HUGE seller ON THE LATER LABEL DESIGN.

Vinyl is still the best way to hear KING CRIMSON AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

The TEXTURED EFFECT GATEFOLD cover has some minor edge wear with some small edge creases,but that is being very strict and is otherwise superb!

NO WRITING! NO RIPS! NO REPAIRS!

NO SELLOTAPE! 

MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR!

SEE BOTH PHOTOS FOR OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD,+BOTH RECORD LABELS! 

 AN ORIGINAL ISLAND RECORDS INNER!

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1970s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1st pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
