Larks' Tongues In Aspic

LP (Item 558253) Atlantic, 1974 — Condition: Near Mint-
For some folks, this might be the purest moment of sonic genius from King Crimson – a record that has this incredible dynamic range, with ultra-low passages followed by soaring highs – all delivered by a group that might well be one of the most technically skilled that Robert Fripp had put together by the time! Fripp himself handles many guitars and devices – alongside drums from Bill Bruford, viola and violin from David Cross, percussion from Jamie Muir, and superb bass and vocals from John Wetton – who really gives the group a focus and soul that balances out he geekier technical moments. Titles include the soaring two-part title track – plus "Easy Money", "Talking Drum", "Book Of Saturday", and "Exiles".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(1987 Editions EG half-speed master pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. A nice copy.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Atlantic, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold
An album so heavy, it blew plenty of minds when first released at the end of the 60s!

Loading Zone
Atlantic, 1974. Very Good+
One of those 70s rock albums that seems to turn up in a fair bit of collections of hip soul and jazz – a bit like the work of Harvey Mandel, and with a similar blend of blues rock currents with farther-reaching ideals!

Deja Vu
Atlantic, 1970. Near Mint- Gatefold

Fragile
Atlantic, 1972. Very Good+ Gatefold
A really key album in the early run of Yes – yet a set that's also nicely different too!

Thee Image
Manticore, 1975. Very Good+
The album's got a nice little break in the track "Love Is Here", and on the long track "Temptation", which begins with an excellent bass/keyboard line that's slow, funky, and very much in a CTI mode! LP, Vinyl record album
