Rarity Scale – Rare
What we have here is a Dutch first pressing of the third studio album by King Crimson “Lizard”.
The disc plays amazing. All music is loud and clear. There is some light crackle here and there, especially at the very beginning and run-out of both sides (pressing). Overall we can conclude these Dutch Stateside pressings are great. A very enjoyable disc for the serious collector.
The labels are clean and near perfect. One side has only one spindle trace. The other side has no spindle marks. We can say this record has seen maybe one turntable in its life. We grade the disc NM.
The sleeve is in EX+ condition. It is clean has almost no wear near the edges. The top right corner has a small bumb. At the opening of the gatefold there is some slight lamination lift but all is still intact.
The inside of the gatefold is like new. The die-cut opening is perfect. The spine is also in great shape and is fully readable.

About this record.
Off course we all know King Crimson! The amazing prog pioneers released their first outstanding masterpiece in 1969 on the legendary Island label. A-1/B-1 pressings goes for huge money nowadays!
“Lizard” was the third album by the band and was released in 1970 and came out before the legendary “Islands” album in 1971.
In the UK this album was released on “Island”. The album up for sale here is a Dutch 1st pressing in outstanding condition. In the Netherlands it was released on EMI Stateside and was pressed in Haarlem. This Dutch stereo pressing sounds amazing. A good sound is really important to enjoy a King Crimson album in all its glory.
The Dutch records were housed in a German outside laminated Die-Cut sleeve.
The music on this album has the typical “King Crimson” sound. Amazing instrumental compositions and great vocals. A not to be missed album by the masters of progressive rock from the Golden Era.
