King Crimson – In The Wake Of Poseidon

The title of Devil's Triangle says "inlcuding" lol

A very dynamic, enjoyable pressing. I've had no noisy vinyl issues. The quietest of moments aren't obscured by crackle in the slightest.

there is a version of this album that says it's made in England, but is not a textured cover and does not come with a digital card (and sticker does not mention it). I believe it's sold only in the U.S., Amazon is selling it as if it were the textured version w/ . :(

WARNING: for who has the one without the textured sleeve, and it's an european one, here's it: In The Wake Of Poseidon

Ugh, I seem to have terrible luck with these King Crimson reissues. My copy just arrived, removing the shrink and taking the record out to find that the first track on side one has an abundance of scratches. I’ve had new records with defects like this and they appeared to potentially only be surface marks that I might not hear. Sadly this is not the case. There’s a continuous repetitive click during a large portion of track one. I have other noise issues on my In The Court of King Crimson as well.

King Crimson demands to be heard with quiet backgrounds, their music often plays on jumping from loud explosions of sound to soft ages or even moments of complete silence. I’m afraid I will now have to eventually seek out new copies of both of these records in hopes that I can get a decent one.

For the record these sound great, that’s not the issue. But just be prepared on all of these reissues that the quality control just isn’t there and you might have to buy a few copies. I will be ordering from amazon from now on so I can return them if they’re messed up.

One more gripe here, this is bigger than just this reissue series though...STOP PUTTING 200 GRAM RECORDS IN SHITTY, THIN, FLIMSY ASS SLEEVES. THEY BUST THROUGH THE INNER AND OUTSR SLEEVE DURING SHIPPING AND RUIN THE SLEEVES! Virtually every 200 gram pressing I’ve ever received in the mail has been this way. It’s beyond frustrating and in this case I do believe that could have been what put the scratches on my copy of In The Wake Of Poseidon; the record itself busting the seems and shifting around so much during shipping can’t be good for the record. Anyways I do love the sound on these, I could care less if they’re from digital sources as the drums here sound more 3D and alive than some AAA releases I’ve heard. 100% recommend the sound but buy this somewhere you can get a replacement if need be

My vinyl sounds amazing, very dynamic and clear. I was blown away. If you don't have the original, get this one!

This, as well as the other existing albums in this series, seems to be the best King Crimson reissue so far in of both sound and packaging. The only serious difference sound-wise is the added highs, but it's done with good measure (unlike, say, the German Stateside press) and adds up to the listening pleasure. So here we are with the most true-to-the-original reissue at 1/10th of the original's price. Well done DGM - thumbs up!
