KING CRIMSON
LARKS' TONGUES IN ASPIC LP
VINYL
WOW, WHAT A COPY - WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A BETTER ONE. PLAYED ONCE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, TO TAPE, AND THEN STORED AWAY, THIS HASN'T BEEN PLAYED OR SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY SINCE.
A STRONG NR MINT, THE AUDIO IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ON MY LINN - PRETTY MUCH A PERFECT PLAYBACK, WITH JUST THE WHISPER OF SOME FEINT B/G OCCASIONALLY ON THE INTRO TO SIDE ONE. VERY FEINT AND ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLE, THE REST OF THE LP IS SUPERB - STUNNING AUDIO. AS YOU'LL PROBABLY ALREADY BE AWARE, THE MUSIC OF MUCH OF THE LP, IN THE QUIET AND REFLECTIVE PASSAGES, IS REALLY QUIET. THIS LP DEALS WITH THESE PARTS PERFECTLY, AND THE OVERALL AUDIO IS LOUD, CLEAR AND DYNAMIC. WONDERFUL PLAYBACK.
THE VINYL IS BEAUTIFUL, WITH JUST THE FEINTIST OF STORAGE, THOUGH ANYTHING AT ALL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE, AND LIKE THE AUDIO, WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FIND BETTER.
A REALLY LOVELY FINAL UPGRADE FIRST PRESS COPY, WITH A PLAYBACK THAT WILL BE HARD TO BEAT.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
SLEEVENEVER SEEN A SLEEVE THIS GOOD. UNLAMINATED FIRST PRESS SLEEVE A NICE SOLID NR MINT WITH BARELY ANY WEAR AT ALL. SOME TINY STORAGE, VERY SMALL BUMP TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, BUT THESE ARE ONLY SMALL THINGS - THE SLEEVE IS SUPERB. PINCHED SPINE IS LOVELY WITH ALL WRITING CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS. VINYL SHIPS IN NEW WHITE POLY-LINED INNER FOR PROTECTION.
