Description
Original pink rim first pressing gatefold of Nick Drake's classic "Pink Moon" - in good condition. I've owned this record for 20 years now, and it's always been in a gatefold plastic protective sleeve. Amazingly copies of this much sought after album have gone for over £300 on eBay.
The album is in very good condition with some slight wear on the sleeve as you would expect from a record of this age, and most notably the colour on the top front right corner has rubbed away (please see pictures).
There are some light surface marks on each side of the vinyl, however both sides play fine with just some light occasional "crackle" mainly between tracks. The original pale blue inner sleeve has a slight tear at the top on one side and some wear midway down one side. I've also just noticed the date 4 May 1984 has been lightly stamped on the very inside where the record is housed, it is not visible unless you are putting the record in or removing it, I have literally just spotted it - this just predates my ownership, I bought it from a guy in Dundee in 1985 through Record Collector.I stress that this is not on the external cover of the sleeve and doesn't detract from a very good copy.
I'm happy to answer any questions and send more photos if you so require, just drop me a mail : )
I have also listed a mint copy of "Five Leaves Left" as well as a very good copy of "Bryter Later".
I'm not a record dealer but have picked up 500+ albums over the years and slowly but surely will be selling them all off on eBay over the coming months to generate some space in the house as my 9 month old son gradually expands his kingdom, and any income generated will be spent on making the garden child friendly.
Best of luck should you bid and in any case many thanks for looking ; )
