One of the very rarest psych folk albums from the UK and any time this album comes up for sale there is a sense of excitement. This one is nice, please read on . Nick only sold 4000 copies for all three albums he did before his untimely demise. It is becoming nearly impossible these days to still find copies of the original first issue of this timeless album.
For auction is a rare and all round nice condition 1st U.K. press of Nick Drake’s second album Bryter Layter from 1970 on the Island label.
Matrices A-1U, B-1U.
Labels clean and unmarked and NM.
Play test showed superb clear sound.
Here is a chance to own a copy of a very rare and desirable album. Not many do come up forsale at all. This one is esp. for the supreme vinyl a superb upgrade/archive copy.
Musically haunting, some strangely-strange melodies and great improvisations. This has long been a connoisseurs acid-folk album and is of course highly sought after. I have always found this much harder to find than the first album and only ever seen two copies before and none even in the same class or league as this stunning example. These acid-folk albums are hard to find like this with nowhere for unwanted sounds to hide amongst the delicate acoustic and vocal music, this vinyl gave a fantastic performance throughout. An upgrade for sure!
THE SUPREME VINYL PLAYS GREAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY WITHOUT DISTORTION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, NO STICKS OR JUMPS!
IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THIS TURNS UP AGAIN WITH AGAIN MORE TAKERS THAN EVER BEFORE. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT PIECE.
Vinyl: EX+. A sublime vinyl with fantastic sound reproduction. Barely played and well cared for album and a fantastic upgrade for this ultra collectable title. No marks, and just one short wispy hairline on side 2 track 2 which cannot be heard on replay. Still looks gleaming and glossy. First press matrices and mother stampers. I have played this in full on my premium sound system (LINN SONDEK, B&W, ARCAM) and the stereo sound is simply supreme and this plays with strong gusto. NO skips, jumps crackle etc. This will be a fantastic item for most long time psych/blues/prog collectors! A true upgrade.
Sleeve: VG/VG+. Matt and very vulnerable textured sleeve but this one has no damage or pricestickers etc. No tears or splits. The edges and spine do have storage wear. The colours are rich and the sleeve lies flat. Please have a close look at the pictures.
The original pale blue inner sleeve with the pink ISLAND logo is still there and fully intact with some small creases.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next psych album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 45.00. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise
This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questins please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
