Description

The fine print:

All records are shipped in cardboard record mailers with stiffeners. Records are shipped in plastic sleeves with the record outside the cover.

Ship to US addresses only. Sorry, not going through the international thing again, too many hassles. The bay has a habit of adding international shipping back into my listings, so I have to remember to take it out. So if it says I do, I really don’t.

NOTE: CHANGES TO SHIPPING. All records are shipped media mail for $4 unless you request fancier service. SHIPPING COMBINED UNTIL YOU HAVE ENOUGH RECORDS TO FILL A RECORD SHIPPING BOX. Then we ship. Sorry, I’m just not set up to ship more than about 4 or 5 records at a time (less with gatefolds) and I can’t afford to let you slide week after week as the wins pile up (show a little mercy, willya?). At that point the shipping may be a bit steeper as well, so might take me a day or two (a trip to the USPS to get it weighed and estimated) before I get back to you with a total. Expect shipping to go up in $1 increments.

I specify shipping within 3 days, but generally do better than that. The more I have ready at one time the quicker I ship (I still work for a living and stop at the PO on the way home from work). FYI, I make a mail run virtually every Monday since many people pay as soon as they win the auction. Prompt payment works well for both of us. If you want to hold off on payment because you’re interested in the next weeks listings just drop me a line and I’ll hold winnings for you until you tell me you’re done.

As usual, questions cheerfully answered for free.

So today’s offering:

Catalog: Island ILPS 9134

Cover: VG+(+), textured, light wear, some creasing, some edge wear.

Vinyl: M-. Hard pressed to find a flaw.

Labels: M-. Might be a hint of a spindle trail.

Side 1 matrix: ILPS 9314A-1U

Side 2 matrix: ILPS 9314B-1U

My research indicates this is a true 1st pressing, even down to the original inner. I suggest you do your own homework to verify. My main sources were some Steve Hoffman threads and Collectors Frenzy. Probably many more out there.

I found Nick Drake maybe 5 years ago (easy to overlook when you’re into Led Zep, Hendrix, BOC, Deep Purple, etc.) but the more I listen to him the more hypnotized and lulled I am. Genius, period. This is a hard one to part with, but I have the Fruit Tree box, so….
