Description

THIS IS AN AUCTION FOR THE SIXTH STUDIO LP BY THE BRITISH PROGRESSIVE GROUP KING CRIMSON RELEASED BY ISLAND IN THE UK IN 1974 CAT NO ILPS 9275.

THE ORIGINAL ROBOR LTD GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN OVERALL EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT STORAGE WEAR. THERE IS ONE SMALL AREA OF WEAR [ABOUT 5MM] ALONG THE TOP EDGE.

THE VINYL IS IN SIMPLY STUNNING CONDITION. EVEN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT I FIND IT HARD TO EVEN SEE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL MARKS. I WOULD GRADE IT VISUALLY A NEAR MINT. THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL IS REFLECTED IN THE AUDIO WHICH IS SUPERB. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE WHOLE LP AT GREAT VOLUME AND CANNOT REALLY FAULT IT. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC BACKGROUND NOISE BUT OVERALL I WOULD GRADE AS NEAR MINT.

THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

I AM ONLY SELLING AS I HAVE ANOTHER COPY SO GRAB THIS SUPERB VINYL WHILST YOU CAN.

I use the Record Collector guide to grade my records-see below

The Lp will be sent in professional mailers and will be sent special delivery in the Uk at a cost of £3.50. The cost of postage in Europe is £8 which includes as mandatory insurance and singned for delivery. I am really sorry but i will not ship to Russia due to problems experienced in the past and anyone bidding who does not have feedback will have their bid cancelled straight away. I am very sorry about this but again this is due to problems experienced in the past. Anyone without feedback and who wants to bid please contact me first.

Grading:- MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
