Get Vendio Gallery – Now FREE! Secondhand Record Album For Sale. Item : In The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson. It’s still sealed but the shrink is opening and ripped. The reissues from the 70’s turn up still sealed sometimes, but they have a different catalog number (SD 19155), so you can spot them easily. Since we can’t examine the record (the value would be destroyed if it were removed), the most important thing here is the sticker on the back from E. This is their ca. Please research that and see for yourself — the stickers from the 70’s are completely different in terms of shape, font, color, etc. Where the shrink is ripped on the back, I’ve felt the cover texture — it’s matte and textured like art paper but of course heavy (it’s a gatefold cover by the way). One reason why fans may want to pick this up is that the British release on the Island label was messed up because of misaligned recording heads, and they corrected this as best they could for the American release on Atlantic. Please see my listings for other desirable titles! If youre an exception, all you need to do is let me know and hopefully we can work together! Condition : Records may not function as intended per surface noise, defective playback due to manufacturing defect or scratches, etc. Most records are in scratched condition. See Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, 5th Edition, page 17: Its estimated that no more than 2 to 4 percent of all records remaining from the 1950s and 1960s are truly Near Mint (and the next grade down from Near Mint is VG+, where light scratches are present). It amazes me that the world of record collecting doesnt have an official grading company such as in the comic book field (they have CGC), the coin collecting realm (they have PCGS), etc. Until an official 3rd party industry expert comes along, record grading remains subjective and opinions vary due to parties differences in audio equipment, etc. The item “SEALED King Crimson In The Court Of The SD 8245 Hype Sticker Prog Rock Record” is in sale since Thursday, April 20, 2017.
