Description

Super rare Iconic 1st pressing of Nick Drake.

I have tried to show condition with close up pics. The record has been inspected by a friend who is a serious collector. He says vinyl is near excellent....with only the faintest marks that show under a bright light....appparently made by taking the record out of the paper inner....these have no detrimental affect on the sound which is crisp and clear.As can be seen the labels are bright with few spindle marks if any showing. The obvious fault is that the original owner has marked one side rather neatly with his name. The cover has suffered over time as most of these first press cover seem to have done.There is some damage inside where it has stuck together, the spine has considerable chuffing, and a Fine Fare label has been stuck on. Obviously it was remaindered stock at 90p....Oh for a time machine.The green front has normal ringwear, and the rear is slightly grubby.The inner paper sleave is a 69 print and has yellowed over the years.I have therefore started the bidding at £250 for an album that books £800.  Shipping will be £7.50 insured up to £500 and tracked...I will ship asap work permitting...but please allow time for me to pack securely. I have one other rare LP listed please have a look.
