King Crimson: In the court of the Crimson king ISLAND 9111 UK


Beautiful original FIRST PRESSED Pink Island ROUGH LABEL copy,comes with original light blue poly-lined ISLAND inner sleeve ( has few light creases but NO splits,tears,rips or any other damages at all, easily EX++..) …

 

 

cover: original  un-laminated E.J. Day. GF  cover  superb  clean MINT- condition with few TINY coloured-in sticker pull marks on top R of the front,that’s all …NO  edge or corner wear ,top and bottom edges are crisp and sharp…ALL four corners are superb clean and square,opening edges are straight and sharp,NO signs of use AT ALL.…Inside is really nice and clean,pretty much as NEW…Spine is PERFECTLY square and uncrushed with all lettering  100% present and readable…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

 

record,visual:  side A is EX++ with one VERY LIGHT and totally harmless surface hairline,side B is   superb clean MINT- with  one microscopic surface line visible  under strong light, NONE of these are audible in any way ….it still retains its beautiful original sheen and  looks VERY NEAR NEW.

 

record,audio: AS WE ALL KNOW THE ULTIMATE SOUND TEST FOR THIS ALBUM IS „MOONCHILD”…I PLAYED THE ENTIRE RECORD FROM START TO END WITH HIGH VOLUME-ON THIS COPY „MOONCHILD” PLAYS GREAT,  NO POPS/CLICKS,THERE’S SOME VERY LIGHT  BACKGROUND/STATIC NOISE  IN THE QUITEST MOMENTS OF THE TRACK – I HIGHLY DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF A COPY THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BACKGROUND NOISE ON THIS TRACK - BUT NOT INTRUSIVE AT ALL…(BY THE WAY – ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY THIS TRACK EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PLAY THIS ALBUM ?? JUST ASKING BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW ANY COLLECTOR WHO ACTUALLY DOES – TO ME THIS SEEMS A TOTAL WASTE OF VALUABLE AND LIMITED  RECORDING SPACE/TIME  THEY COULD’VE USED FOR SOME MORE EXCITING MATERIAL WHICH THEY WERE CLEARLY NOT SHORT OF..  ) .. GREAT SOUND QUALITY WITH  CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH  GREAT DELIVERY AND  STEREO IMAGE…NO DISTORTION,NO GROOVEWEAR,NO SKIPS/JUMPS OR STICKING ..

 

labels:   AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE  with few LIGHT spindle hole marks….ILPS 9111 A//2  1 4 and ILPS 9111 B//2  1 5 matrix numbers,very first pressing …no tears,stamps or any other damages...
