Reviews
My copy is a bit warped but is 100% listenable and enjoyable. Not many pops or clicks on my copy. A bit harsh sounding, doesnt sound nearly as good as my copy of larks (King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic) but it's totally acceptable in my opinion. Is the mix generally louder in the left channel or am I crazy?- Lots of pops and surface noise. Almost unlistenable. No download code.
For those looking to get the best version of King Crimsons catalog on vinyl I recommend reading my review of the 1972 - 1974 box:
https://www.discogs.com/King-Crimson-1972-1974/release/13011002
Seems I've got a UK version of this LP. I do have the insert which is the same as here in the gallery, but the download code is missing. Just the link (which is dead btw). The sticker on shrink wrap didn't say anything about the mp3 code. Does anyone have the same issue?
