Description
I'll be listing some great stuff over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out. I'm mad about music so everything listed has been played all the way through (at least once!). I do try and describe every record in as much detail as relevantly possible and will not ignore/overlook flaws in order to hike up the price! My top grade is Excellent +++ and this is for a basically almost perfect record (rest assured anything I grade at Excellent or above would probably be graded as MINT by a lot of other sellers)...records in this sort of condition do not come along that often, so I'm surprised to see so many graded as Mint or Near Mint (!!!????) which are mainly completely misleading. Even with new vinyl, as soon as you drag the vinyl out of it's sleeve those annoying hairline scratches appear and sometimes worse and even the packaging has wear/flaws. Anyway, I do pride myself in being as honest as possible and think if I was buying this record what would I want to know.
Very hard to find NICK DRAKE "Fruit Tree" (The complete recorded works) UK 1979 ISLAND Records NDSP 100 boxset reissue of his first three classic albums:
Five Leaves Left
Bryter Later
Pink Moon
Also included is a 14 page booklet with career history, pics and lyrics to all the songs.
This boxset makes a great alternative to buying the originals for which you'd probably have to remortgage your house to do so!. These songs really do need listening to...forget about the singer songwriter crapola being released at the moment!
Condition
Box
The box is generally in great condition (generally excellent,never been crushed and the opening mechanism is in perfect order) but does have wear to all four corners and the top opening edge does have some wear about half way across.Due to this the box grades Very Good +++ (if not better).
Sleeves
All three sleeves have no wear worth mentioning and grade Excellent+ (if not better).
Vinyl
All three records are in superb condition and play all the way through without skips,jumps,hiss,pops and little or no background noise. They have obviously not been played very often as there are very few hairline marks/scuffs when viewed at an angle under a bright light. Overall I grade the vinyl as Excellent++.
Booklet
The 14 page booklet is in Excellent++ condition (if not better).
Labels
All the labels are in Excellent+++ condition.
Please bid with confidence as my descriptions are accurate and honest (check my feedback)...if ,however, for any reason you are unhappy I do offer a money back guarantee (less postage costs).
