Description
Offered here is a 1972 1st US pressing of the iconic Pink Moon LP by Nick Drake in NM condition. This LP comes from the archives of a very well-known 60s-70’s rock ‘n’ roll, DJ, producer, and author. The record jacket has a promo punch and appears to be completely unplayed. Glossy like new with no scratches visible. Looks completely unplayed! Winchester pressing. There is very light storage wear to the jacket, but it is still crisp and firm (see photos). Impossibly rare as very few copies of this LP were pressed when first released. Good luck finding another one in this condition!! Message if you would like additional pictures.
