No is ILPS 9111 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pink 'i' Island label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has only 1 small surface mark, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound in a VERY few places (such as 'Moonshine' for example) - though this background sound is always VERY low level indeed and completely unavoidable on this LP as any King Crimson collector will already know!!!!  There is also a few light clicks/pops towards the end of the one track and 3 or 4 at the beginning of the next track (from the small surface mark mentioned above).  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!   The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Gatefold Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! It has only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO sticker tears, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The only other EXTREMELY minor detail to mention is some VERY unnoticeable 'touching in' to parts of the edges & spine (NONE on the main faces AT ALL!) - though this has been INCREDIBLLY well done, is VERY easy to overlook (it is barely visible!), and only serves to enhance what is already a BRILLIANT conditioned cover!!!!  I must also make clear that there is NO splits, and NO nasty 'fluffy wear' of ANY kind to the edges or spine - and this cover is very VERY nice indeed!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better and still looks BRILLIANT!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
