Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our
well over 20,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

ULTRA RARE MONOPHONIC MIXES!

Record companies had stopped producing MONO recordings at the end of 1967
Hard to find would be an understatement ... Scarce original 1971 first press in nice colorful laminated gatefold cover ...
The original co-creators of King Crimson unite... can it be as good as the 1969 monster they had created?
-
Not quite, but comes close and not far from it !
McDONALD & GILES even sounds a little like King Crimsons' first two albums, but it has a different approach : one that is more in gorgeous Beatle-esque pop-psych melodies within progressive rock originality... the main TWO tracks are 11 and 21 minutes long. This album is a mix between In The Court Of The Crimson King and The Beatles (ABBEY ROAD era), quite a unique combination that was never reproduced as such.
-
The sound, is of course, great, even many years later! The King Crimson styling comes from the quite large variety of instruments used (quite effectively too) and the dreamy progressive passages. The Beatles sound comes from their lilting harmony styles & production craftiness, parts in musical play but mainly from the voices; very reminiscent of that precise Beatles sound....so it's quite a mixture here...there are psych effects & heavenly atmospherics along the way...certainly a 'heady' dose of goods for the unsuspecting listener...then the real joy is the fact that it grows with each successive play!
