NICK DRAKE- FIVE LEAVES LEFT- ISLAND RECORDS SOLID PINK LABEL - ILPS-9105
PLEASE READ THE FULL LISTING. I HAVE 100% FEEDBACK BASED ON MY FULL AND THOROUGH LISTINGS! IN THE CANON OF COLLECTABLE RECORDS, THIS IS REALLY CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP. AN ORIGINAL COPY OF ONE OF THE FINEST ALBUMS BY AN ENIMATIC ARTIST. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THE FIRST PRES- ONLY 5K COPIES WHICH FILED TO SELL AND FOUND THEMSELVES IN THE WOOLWORTHS BARGAIN BINS AND ULTIMATELY DISCARDED. FURTHER DISAPPOINTMENT FOLLOWED WITH BRYTER LATER AND PINK MOON. IT TOOK SEVERAL YEARS OF RE-EVALUATION TO APPRECIATED HOW GOOD THESE RECORDS WERE...
I COLLECT RECORDS. I HAVE ABOUT 2000 LPS. I GET MOST OF THEM FROM CAR BOOT SALES.
TODAY (9TH APR) I WENT THROUGH A PILE OF RECORDS AT A BOOTSALE IN NOTTS, AMONG THE 'JAMES LAST' I PULLED OUT THREE ALBUMS; HAWKWIND'S HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL; PINK FLOYDS ANIMALS, AND THIS; NICK DRAKE'S FIVE LEAVES LEFT
The sleeve is gatefold. A poor attempt has been made to remove the price ticket, resulting in damage to the sleeve (see images). Slight rubbing to the top edge and top 'green' section.
The track listing on the sleeve and label differ. There is edge damage to the sleeve (see image).
Now the record.
The pink label is smooth and has 'made in england' on it (this is important apparently). In the runout groove on slide 1; IPLS 9105 A//2 and on side 2; IPLS 9105 B//2.
THE RECORD WAS INCREDIBLY DUSTY- LITERALLY TONS OF THE STUFF. I HAVE BLOWN THIS AWAY AND LIGHTLY DUSTED, BUT I HAVE NOT CLEANED THE RECORD AS I HAVE ONLY RUDIMENTARY CHEMICALS AND AM UNWILLING.
The vinyl now looks shiny. I have played it on my best system (proj-ject xpression iii, blue ortofon 2m tracked at 1.8g) and there is plenty of background noise beause the record needs deep (wet) cleaning. THIS RECORD DESERVES A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN.
INNER BAG IS POLY LINED, BUT DETATCHED, I WILL REBAG, BUT INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL TOO.
THERE IS A V LIGHT SCRATCH ACROSS 'MAN IN A SHED' - you have to look v carefully to see it. a few v light scuffs but really v good.
SO ALL IN ALL. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE. IF I HAVE MISSED ANY IMPORTANT DETAILS PLEASE ASK.
THIS IS UK ONLY LISTING.
PACKAGING WILL BE ROBUST.
COLLECTION IS PREFERED. INSPECTION WELCOME (MANSFIELD NOTTS). IS OFFERED FOR SALE ELSEWHERE, SO MAY JUST DISAPPEAR.
IN SUMMARY- SLEEVE HAS PRICE TAG DAMAGE AND SCUFFED, VINYL IS SHINY BUT DIRTY, TINY (INAUDIBLE) SCRATCH. WE ALL KNOW HOW RARE THIS IS! POSTAGE WILL BE SLOW AS I WORK DURING THE WEEK.
