King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (Japan) –...

A superb Japanese pressing of King Crimson's legendary debut album In the Court of the Crimson King, released by Polydor in 1983 under catalogue number 25MM 0261. This is a particularly attractive collector's copy, complete with its original Japanese obi and insert, and vinyl that appears virtually unplayed. What makes this edition special is its beautiful Japanese presentation. This is the original ¥2,500 Polydor edition from 1983, featuring the distinctive yellow "King Crimson No. 1" obi strip and Japanese-language insert. Japanese editions are especially appreciated for their carefully produced packaging, and finding a complete example in such outstanding condition is always a pleasure. The iconic gatefold artwork by Barry Godber—one of the most recognizable album covers in music history—is preserved here in excellent form. Originally released in 1969, In the Court of the Crimson King helped establish an entirely new direction for rock music. From the explosive opening of 21st Century Schizoid Man through the haunting beauty of Epitaph and the majestic title track, this album stands as a cornerstone of progressive rock. ⸻ Sleeve (EX): A very nice, clean and beautifully preserved gatefold sleeve.
