NICE SOUNDING 1ST PRESS NICK DRAKE PINK MOON ISLAND 'PINK RIM' ILPS 9184 A-1U/B-1U
This is generally a very nice sounding copy of Nick Drake's third and final album. The album has some superficial markings and a 6cm scuff towards the end of Side One which means it grades visually VG. You can just make out the scuff on the 6th picture below just under the 'I' of 'Island'.
However, these imperfections have little impact on the audio quality. There is some light background noise resulting from the scuff for a very short period but on the whole the rest of the album plays extremely well and so I will grade EX-.
The matte laminated gatefold sleeve grades VG- with wear to the spine and edges, foxing and the remains of some pencil markings. The blue inner is in G+ condition with signs of ageing.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: 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.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: 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: 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: 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: 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.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
