ARTIST & TITLE: NICK DRAKE ~ FIVE LEAVES LEFT LP ~ ISLAND RECORDS ILPS-9105 ~ Orig. UK 1969
VINYL PRESSING: UK PRESSING
LABEL: ISLAND
CAT # ILPS-9105
MATRIX NUMBERS: ILPS-9105 A//2 - ILPS-9105 B//2
VINYL CONDITION: VG. MANY MIGHT CALL THIS A VG+ BUT I AM VERY HARD ON MY GRADINGS, HAS LIGHT SCUFFS AND A COUPLE OF DEEPER LOOKING SCRATCHES WHICH APPEAR TO MAKE NO NOISE. - I SPOT CHECKED IT AND I COULD ONLY HEAR ONE LIGHT TICK, TICK TICK SOUND OVER OVER TRACK FOUR SIDE 2 - AND EVEN THEN IT WAS A VERY LIGHT POP, NOT A DISTRACTING ONE - AND I WAS REALLY LISTENING TO HEAR FOR IT. THIS HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR OVER 10 YEARS SO I GAVE IT A QUICK WASH AND IT SOUNDS GREAT, OF COURSE, THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT NOISE IN THE QUIETER AREAS AND A FEW POPS AND CLICKS HERE AND THERE, BUT ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY NICE, AND ONCE PROPERLY WASHED SHOULD SOUND EVEN BETTER. THE VINYL IS NICE AND FLAT AND PLAYS VERY NICE, LISTENING QUALITY I WOULD GIVE IT 6 TO 7 OUT OF 10. ITS NOT PERFECT, BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW RARE THIS ALBUM IS AND IN MY OPINION IS A FANTASTIC COPY TO HAVE UNTIL THAT HOLY GRAIL COPY COMES ALONG. I AM CERTAIN THAT ANY WINNER WILL BE PLEASED. THE LABELS HAVE A BIT OF FOXING BUT OVERALL ARE ALSO NICE. NO WRITING OR TEARING ON THE LABELS
COVER CONDITION: VG. ONCE AGAIN MANY MIGHT CALL THIS A VG+ HAS SOME SHELF WEAR AND SOME RING WEAR AND A LOT OF CHIPPING ON THE SPINE, BUT THE GATEFOLD IS GREAT, THE INSIDE PF THE GATEFOLD HAS A BIT OF FOXING AND THERE IS A 3 TO 4" SPLIT ON THE TOP SEAM (SEE PHOTOS)
OVERALL VERY NICE AND THE COVER HAS BEEN KEPT IN PLASTIC PROTECTIVE SLEEVE FOR 10 YEARS, SO ITS IN VERY NICE SHAPE. OVERALL, I RECKON
ADDITIONAL INFO: I DONT NEED TO TELL YOU HOW RARE THIS IS DO I? ITS THE ORIGINAL 1969 PRESSING, WITH THE "ERNEST J DAY" SLEEVE. AND WHILE NOT BEING PERFECT (I DONT RECALL EVER SEEING A PERFECT COPY IN MANY YEARS) ITS CERTAINLY A GREAT COPY TO HAVE IN THE COLLECTION, AND ONE OF THE NICEST I HAVE SEEN ON EBAY IN A LONG TIME. PLEASE IGNORE ANY POSSIBLE GLARE IN THE COVER - IT WOULD BE JUST THE CAMERA FLASH.
ALL VINYL REMOVED FROM COVER AND PLACED IN PLASTIC SLEEVE TO PREVENT SPLITTING IN SHIPPING. I PACK ITEMS VERY SOLIDLY TOO.
PLEASE NOTE TO US BIDDERS: POSTAGE: IS $19 WORLDWIDE FOR 1 LP OR $22 FOR TWO LPS AND $5 PER LP" AFTER THAT. **PLEASE IGNORE THE $4 POSTAGE PRICE THAT EBAY FORCES ME TO PUT - IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY MY POSTAGE PRICES THEN PLEASE DONT DO ANY SORT OF BIDDING. AND IF YOU ONLY PAY THE $4 I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO REFUND YOUR MONEY AND CONTACT EBAY. THANKS. PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO SEND AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. AND BUYERS IN NZ AND AUSTRALIA THE POSTAGE WILL BE A BIT CHEAPER ALSO.

PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT BEFORE BIDDING:
GRADING: All vinyl is graded visually - I just don't have time to play all my discs before putting them up for auction however I will try to be tough on the grading, as I would prefer that a buyer was happily surprised, in stead of unhappily disappointed.
NM = Mint. No such thing really, unless its still sealed. or brand new, unplayed.
EX- = Excellent. Looks almost new. Possibly has one to two minors faults, and some evidence of having been played, with no audible defect.
VG+ = Very Good Plus. Has light scuffs and scratches but mostly inaudible. possibly can hear a bit of noise in quiet parts. Records with slight surface noise and/or scuffs fall into this category.
VG = Very Good. Has a bit more wear and tear, surface noise a bit more apparent, but still very listenable. Records in this category have more significant damage or wear.
VG- = More, distracting surface noise. Quite audible but good for singalongs etc ;-) Only used for rarites that you otherwise may not find.
G+ = Good Plus. Not really good, more like a dustbin lid, used really only for rarities and/or label fillers
