I bought it soon after it came out, listened a few times and put it away for 30 years without ever getting the urge to play it. I gave it to a charity shop last year.

My first album ever was Burn by Deep Purple, if you want to count that as Prog. Other early albums include Led Zeppelin IV, Yessongs, Songs From the Wood, Bursting Out, Going For the One, Brain Salad Surgery, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and Made In Japan, along with a host of more straight rockers like the Doobie Brothers and Aerosmith.

Fragile was also my second prog album, but I didn't hear Wake for a long time after I started on prog. Even as far as KC goes I heard a lot of their other albums earlier than it.

I love Wake. But in all honesty, several tracks sound like a lot like tracks from Court.
Nothing wrong with that, eh?
I consider Up to be my first prog album because it lead me back
to Genesis and then others.

I think if the album had been released by some obscure band it would have been rated differently. I think it's a very good album on its own right.

I started with ELP then worked back to the albums that featured individual members and so naturally got Wake and Court as well. Court has the beautifull songs but Wake is a much harder more energtic album. Its closer to what I enjoy now while I havn't listened to Court in its entireity for about 10 years probably.

It was an early one. Probably among the 15 first. Got it a couple of weeks after buying their debut. Loved it. I do hear the similarities of Pictures of a City & 21st Century and the (beautiful) title track & Epitaph but it never got in the way of appreciating the songs or the album.

No. In fact, I had little interest for KC in my first prog years. ItCotCK has been in my collection since I was 19 or 20 and Islands since last year, and that's it. Nevertheless, In the Wake of Poseidon was a good start.
My first prog albums were Relics and DSotM (Pink Floyd) and CttE (Yes).

The first prog album I bought for my own collection (I listened to my dad's records too, and he had some prog), I think it was Pink Floyd's Meddle album. Not counting Floyd, it might be King Crimson's first album, which I remember my dad recommending to me while we were record shopping. "Hey, you'll probably like this if you like Pink Floyd".
