Description
THIS WEEK I WILL BE LISTING A NUMBER OF EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PINK ISLAND LABEL RELEASES, THIS BEING PERHAPS THE RAREST OF ALL. PRESSED INITIALLY IN A VERY LIMITED RUN THIS RECORD IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND. DRAKE'S RENEWED POPULARITY HAS ALREADY PROMPTED AN AUDIOPHILE RE-RELEASE BUT THIS ONE IS THE REAL THING!
ARTIST: NICK DRAKE
TITLE: FIVE LEAVES LEFT
LABEL: ISLAND PINK LABEL
CAT #: ILPS 9105
FORMAT: FIRST UK PRESSING A2/B2 MATRICES
CONDITION: DISC: VERY GOOD - TO GOOD +, LABELS EXCELLENT WITH NO WRITING OR STAINS BUT SOME SPINDLE WEAR, THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES ON BOTH SIDES, SOME LIGHT CRACKLING AND LIGHT POPS FROM THE SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE - IN PARTICULAR THE FIRST 3 TRACKS, SIDE TWO IS BETTER WITH LESS POPS AND CRACKLES. USING A NAD 533/YAMAHA AMP/MISSION SPEAKERS I WOULD SAY THAT THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED A FAIR BIT AND COULD DO WITH A GOOD CLEAN AND AS IT IS AN INCREDIBLY RARE RECORD IT IS ONE FOR THE COLLECTOR RATHER THAN THE AUDIOPHILE ALTHOUGH IT STILL SOUNDS BETTER THAN MY CD COPY!
SLEEVE: GOOD+ GATEFOLD WITH FULL BASING STREET ADDRESS ON THE BACK, MINIMAL CREASING TOWARDS SPINE/EDGES, NO MAJOR RINGWEAR, EDGES ARE ALL WORN WITH A COUPLE OF TEARS IN THE BOTTOM EDGE CARRYING THE VINYL. A PREVIOUS OWNER WROTE THEIR NAME UNDER THE BASING STREET ADDRESS BUT THAT HAS MOSTLY WORN AWAY

Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
