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.

.................................
EXTREMELY RARE as a SEALED/UNPLAYED 51 years past Original 1970 first press vinyl in thick & textured gatefold cover, of the 2nd CRIMSON KING album ... if you like the first, this is in the same vein...and filled with glorious MELLOTRON rich back drops...
For a band that is known for having various incarnations that are so different from each other that they don't even sound like the same band, it's odd that their first two albums are practically carbon copies of each other. For the most part, this album is overshadowed by its more successful predecessor. Still, there are many things to like here - "Cat Food" is a wonderful, jazzy, unpredictable little song -- also like the way they open with the "Peace" theme, then restate it in the middle of the record and again to close the album. "Cadence and Cascade" is a ballad (a la "I Talk to the Wind"), and a nice one; and while the title track is an obvious comparison to "Epitaph" or "The Court", and is equally pretentious and mellotron-soaked -- a very nice piece overall (particularly like the drumming) ... In fact, "In the Wake" has a grandeur missing from either of the mellotron epics on the debut. As mentioned above, "Cat Food" is an obvious winner, a crazy tune accentuated by Keith Tippett's bizarre piano runs. "The Devil's Triangle" is something most really like -- the dementia and noise present on this track is a complete change from the melodic niceness of the rest of the album, and it's a refreshing variation. Overall, anyone who liked the first album and doesn't mind some repetition of style should enjoy this one.
