Description
Hello- I'm Bill, and over the next few weeks I'll be selling off my treasured record collection, a course of action forced on me by an imminent move and enforced retirement. I've collected music all my adult life, and will be sad to see it all go . My tastes have varied over the years, as you'll see, but folk and rock have been the backbone of my collection.Over the next few weeks there will be some rarities appearing, believe me! All records will be in at least EX condition, and a lot of NM's too. I'm loathe to use NM, once it's played, it's played, but I try to stick to the RC guidelines, even if my grading is too severe! All records are inspected under a good light, and none are cleaned, only brushed. I know everyone has their own favourite cleaning methods, so why deprive you of the pleasure?(Jan 06)
Now back after a longer than expected hospitalisation and recovery, I’m fit and back on course. Many apologies to those of you who have been waiting to see what comes next. Hopefully this weekend’s offerings will satisfy!......Bill. (Apr 15 06)
This is getting like a diary! A word here about my postal charges. Some international buyers are saying that my charges are too high. I make no profit on the post.In fact since I started selling my collection, I have subsidised the international side by £38 !! I send by international signed-for, and a single record to France costs me £8.66. Further afield costs a damn sight more!!
The charges are clearly listed , so why query it after you’ve bought the item?
99% of my international buyers have been superb, but the odd whinge makes this all seem like a bit of a chore!
OK- moan over! I’m not really a miserable old git!
As we get towards the end of May, I’m mixing things up a bit. Some blues, lots of folk, of course, and some rock too!
I’ll soon be starting on my extensive ‘DONOVAN’ collection- lots of 1st presses etc, and some superb copies!!
This weekend I’m selling some of my rarest recordings- some had as few as 100 copies pressed!
Check out my other offerings!
This next one is a real gem.
NICK DRAKE BOXED COLLECTION- TITLED ‘FRUIT TREE’
This one is the better of the 2 collections with this title, because there are 4 records in this one-the “expanded†version with-:
BRYTER LAYTER
FIVE LEAVES LEFT
PINK MOON
TIME OF NO REPLY which contains 10 previously unreleased tracks, plus the 4 ‘last session’ tracks.
A beautiful collection of music.
The Box-; some edge wear and small damage. Some corner wear, with the ‘hinge’ corners a little split. Still a very good box , just a little grubby.Inside, very clean.
The Booklet-; excellent, with just a little edge wear, and a little creasing to the cover.
The Inner Sleeves-; all four are excellent, with only small creasing, and a little stain to the back of the Time of No Reply sleeve, although this may easily clean off. I’m making no attempt to hide even the smallest mark- this is an excellent package as is.
The Vinyl-;TIME OF NO REPLY-Tiny sleeve-marks only. Both labels are perfect with no spindle marks.
BRYTER LAYTER-Tiny sleeve-marks only. One spindle mark to one label, the other is pristine.
FIVE LEAVES LEFT-Again, the faintest of sleeve-marks.Both labels mint.
PINK MOON-A few more faint wispy sleeve-marks. Both labels mint.
This is a beautiful collectable box set. I bought it a few years ago as unplayed, and I have never played it. If it has been played, it is minimal. The only marks are sleeve marks. I have played each disc briefly just to confirm that the tiny lines are,indeed, non-sounding.
One not to be missed!
Label……………………HANNIBAL HNBX 5302 A/B, C/D, E/F, G/H.
Year…………………….1986
Matrices………………..HNBX 5302 A to H. Only one pressing.
Box condition..................VG++
Booklet condition.............EX
Inner sleeves....................EX
Vinyl Side 1....................EX+
Vinyl side 2.....................EX+, and the same for all 8 sides.
This one is a real collector’s piece.
All records are repacked into Nagaoka anti-static sleeves and card inners, with the original inners and cover separate to maintain condition, and posted in heavy duty mailers wth stiffeners.Postage is a non-profit affair- no £5 jobs here!
All will be sold with NO reserve, so bid away, and good luck!
I prefer PAYPAL for payment, and I don’t pass on their charges!
