========================================================================

You are looking at the original 1972 UK Nick Drake Pink Moon LP. This is the best copy I've seen in my lifetime. The record is flawless and the sleeve is in really very good condition. All pictures are accurate, please feel free to ask any questions.

The sleeve is printed by the Tinsley Robor Group with a custom 'i' logo by the bottom edge on the reverse. There are just very minor signs of age with a little wear to the one corner as shown. There are no splits or tears and the spine print is clearly legible with sharp, unfaded images - Overall it is excellent. Despite being over thirty five years old the vinyl is simply stunning - it looks barely played with tiny spindle marks around the centre hole & no marks whatsoever on the vinyl. Defeinitely as close to mint as possible. Incredible condition given its age, you really won't find a better copy

The matrix numbers in the 'dead wax' areas on both sides end -1 confirming that this was among the first batch of albums pressed. The numbers are machine stamped and are as follows:

Side One - ILPS 9184 A-1U
Side Two - ILPS 9184 B-1U

A superb copy of this highly sought after original pressing. Would make a great investment or addition to any serious collection!
 
The sleeve is as shown in the images, with the following minor flaws:

Scuffing to front, top left

A selotape mark on inner

Biro on original, blue inner sleeve

Grading based on Record Collector Guidelines:

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. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be Mint.

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.
