Other than the famous In The Court lp i have been unable to find any of their albums with gatefold sleeves. I'm mostly looking for Islands and Earthbound which seem only available with picture sleeves

I've seen a copy of Lizard and (I think) In the Wake of Poseidon with a gatefold sleeve.

I don' think "Earthbound" ever had a gatefold. It was originally released by Island as part of the budget label "HELP" series. That said, "ELP's "Pictures.." was also one of those releases, and it did have a gatefold cover.

It takes some time to scour thru web pages of online vinyl record sellers, sometimes you have to email the seller and ask them for additional pics of what they are trying to sell, just to make sure you are both on the same 'gatefold page' Wink.
 
It may cost you a pretty penny if you find one.

I don't usually go for the rare ones so it hasn't been a problem so far, but however long it takes i definitely want Islands, and yes it does look like it comes pricey these days

The Japanese mini album CD replica of Red is a gatefold. They are usually very good reproductions of their 12" counterparts, so I assume that Red was also a gatefold (but can find no solid proof of that).
What?

How about the 40 anniversary reissues? I saw one but it was wrapped in plastic so I couldn't see if it's gatefold. But that's what I would expect.

My Canadian Lizard opens out. But the quality of Canadian vinyl was crap which is the reason vinyl imprts were so popular here in the seventies. And we had to pay forthem. Even second hand copies were marked up.

^ In the Wake Of Poseidon is the most available one so that is probably what i'll end up getting as my first Crimson venture, of course i'll have to wait till i get paid first. Not for another 4-6 weeksAngry

The original United Kingdom and European cover depicts the Trifid Nebula in Sagittarius and displays neither the name of the band nor the title. The original United States and Canadian album cover (as released by Atlantic Records) was a Peter Sinfield painting of off-white with coloured "islands". This was used as an internal gatefold sleeve in the UK. When the King Crimson catalogue was re-issued by EG, they standardised on the "Trifid Nebula" cover world-wide.
