King Crimson . In The Wake Of Poseidon . Textured Gatefold Sleeve . Island Pink Label . 1970 . ILPS 9127 . A // 1 B // 1
Good To Very Good Condition . Nice Price!
First of all I haven't played this abum for 40 years or more because I have it on Cassette and CD, however I decided to play the vinyl today and it still sounds great. You can hear the faint crackling sound on the quiet bits and, but this is to be expected with an old record. Unfortunately there is a scratch on 'In The wake Of Poseidon' track when the Mellotron part comes, apart from that I didn't hear any of the tracks skipping at all and overall it still sounds as incredible as the first time I heard it. This has to be an original because I bought it on the first day of release. The labels are intact with just faint mottling.
The Textured Sleeve still looks great on the front and rear surfaces, but the inside is showing it's age with slight surface wear. The edges and spine are scuffing (see photos above) but although the spine is splitting a little it is still legible. The top and bottom corners are also scuffing with age (see photos) I have included the original inner sleeve which is creased and yellowing as to be expected.
Overall this is a really nice copy apart from the annoying scratch on side one, therefore I'm keeping the price low because of this.
The record will be sent by standard delivery after receipt of payment, packed in a strong record mailer with corrugated boards.
Please note I only accept payment by PayPal and deliver to UK only.
Good Luck!
ITEM REVISED: 23rd September 7pm
I just noticed today when I held the record up to the light I was able to see some surface wear and lots of faint scratches which I hadn't noticed before. This should not affect the sound quality in any way.
