This is a really amazing original early UK pressing with the thick chunky vinyl in incredible MINT- condition and the E.J.Day matt gatefold sleeve in very NEAR MINT condition. Both sides of the vinyl look as new and both sides play perfectly with crystal clear audio clarity throughout that is free of annoying surface noise, both sides really do play superbly well with barely even a hint of the lightest background crackle. This is just a perfect playing collectors copy that will not need upgrading in the future.

ORIGINAL THICK VINYL = MINT- (PLAYS GRADES EX++/NM)

Both sides of the vinyl are in an amazing MINT- condition, there are no surface marks/scuffs or scratches at all and both sides have that just pressed look with a very glossy full reflective black sheen, this immaculate original pressing really does look and play as new, even the notoriously very quiet track 'MOONCHILD' sounds absolutely amazing and is free of surface noise, the sound quality is brilliantly crisp and clear throughout and both sides just sound superb from beginning to end, this is just a stunning original UK PINK ISLAND pressing in immaculate clean playing condition that will definitely not disappoint in any way, i cannot rave about this original copy enough as it really is one of the best looking, playing and sounding copies that you could possibly find today.

Please check my feedback and bid with complete confidence, i do not over grade my records just to make a few extra pounds, how i describe this stunning original example of King Crimson's brilliant debut album is exactly what you will receive through the post...GUARANTEED!!!!

PINK ISLAND LABELS = NEAR MINT

Both PINK ISLAND labels are in superb near new condition, the shade of pink is darker and more vibrant than other early UK pressings that i have seen and both labels just look in amazing very clean and bright condition. When tilted toward the light there are just a few light spindle traces visible on each side but these light traces are only due to very careful play on good quality equipment.

E.J.DAY MATT GATEFOLD SLEEVE = EXCELLENT++

The original E.J.Day matt gatefold sleeve looks brilliant and only suffers from very minute areas of edge/spine/storage wear, this gatefold cover is very strong with excellent straight edges and a near perfect spine, there is no creasing, writing or staining or any other defects, this original E.J.Day matt gatefold cover simply looks brilliant and would be very difficult to find in better condition.

This amazing sounding progressive rock album does not surface for sale too often at all in such stunning clean playing condition as this copy on offer here. The winning bidder will definitely not be disappointed with this brilliant original UK PINK ISLAND pressing of King Crimson's superb debut album.
