THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS NICK DRAKE FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED, IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! AND PLEASE DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE HUGE RARITY OF THIS LP!!!! THIS 2ND PRESSING WAS MADE LESS THAN 1 YEAR AFTER THIS LP WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED - AND SOLD IN THE SAME TINY AMOUNTS AS THE 1ST PRESSING!!!! SO IT IS JUST AS HARD TO FIND - AND EVEN RARER STILL LIKE THIS!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 2ND PRESSING ON THE 2ND PRESS 'PINK RIM' ISLAND 'PALM TREE' LABEL, ORIGINAL TURQUOISE ISLAND INNER SLEEVE, AND ORIGINAL GATEFOLD COVER!!!!

This is the ORIGINAL Island UK 2nd Pressing from 1969 and is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILPS 9105 on the ORIGINAL 2nd Press Island label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo Pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 1 VERY small surface mark, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with NO nasty loud pops, only a few VERY light clicks on 1 track which dont last long AT ALL (from the VERY small surface mark), NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better and looks absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Turquoise Island inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! The ORIGINAL Gatefold Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!! It has barely ANY edge wear AT ALL (virtually NONE - and NOT through the colour!), NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO sticker tears, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL (virtually NONE!), and NO writing!!!!
