Description
NICK DRAKE – Bryter Layter (Early 70s UK Pressing - Island Records)
An exceptional and highly sought-after UK pressing of Nick Drake's masterpiece, Bryter Layter. This copy features the iconic Island Records "Pink Rim / Palm Tree" label and boasts the legendary A-1U matrix, meaning it was pressed using the exact same first-cut stampers as the original 1971 release. A true Holy Grail for audiophiles seeking the purest analog sound of Nick Drake.
Vinyl Condition: NEAR MINT (NM)
The vinyl is visually spectacular. It retains a deep, factory-fresh glossy black shine. There are no visible scratches, scuffs, or circular wear. The spindle hole is clean and sharp, indicating very few plays over the last 50 years. It looks like it just came out of the pressing plant. An absolute beauty.
Sleeve Condition: EXCELLENT (EX)
The sleeve is in stunning condition, retaining its vivid colors and rigid structure. It features a fantastic historical detail on the front: a vintage "Fnac - Importation Directe" sticker, proving its authentic import history in the 1970s. The seams and spine are tight and secure
Why this copy is special:
Finding a UK Pink Rim copy of Bryter Layter with an A-1U matrix in Near Mint condition is incredibly rare today. The A-1U cut by EMI guarantees the most breathtaking, direct, and intimate listening experience of Nick Drake's voice and guitar, offering the exact same audio pedigree as the very first cut.
